Snow

A few weeks ago when I went to Germany, the weather in Moss was quite spring-like.
No snow.

There hasn't been much snow in Moss this winter. :-)

Then I came back from Germany.
Within a few days snow started to fall.
Moss became white.

Now spring has attacked again.
With the help of rain and lhigher temperatures,
the snow is now retreating.

Then I tried to remember some of the words in Norwegian for different kinds of snow, and then find possible English words .

Here are some:

Tørr snø - "dry" snow

Fin snø - powder snow

Kram snø - wet snow

Sludd - slush

Skare - crust

Slaps - snirt (?)

Many parts of Norway have a lot of snow the whole winter.
I like the Moss version of the winter -the lite version.
