Three hours. Yes, it took us that long (what could have been a 15 minute drive) to safely get home from work to home today.

Weather forecast has announced an upcoming snowstorm but after living in Stavanger for four years with big wind, darkness and cold, forecasts like this sometimes become a bit of a normal scenario for me. But not this one.

Einar picked me up after work. I finished at 4pm. I asked Julian and Sebastian to pick up Victoria at 3pm today because the weather will becoming worse as the day goes down.

I got picked up quarter past 4 because of so much traffic. Walked out of the building to meet Einar while he´s on a standstill traffic. We took Tananger route on the way home hoping that with double road toll, it will lessen the traffic this side – didn´t happen.

Cars were on standstill, as we progress to Tananger after two hours from Forus, I have started seeing cars sliding on the road, trapped car on the side of the road, covered in snow, visible signs and aftermath of something what could´ve been a stuck car and some road collisions.

Winds are becoming so strong, massive snowfall, icy roads, you name it! King winter is here.

As soon as we arrived home, we had to quickly shovel out the snow in the entryway. It was a bit of a work given the fact that we just cleared out a fairly amount of thick snow the day before and the day before that. LOL
