Winter-Wonder-Land developed further over the last few days with temperatures down to -4° celsius. Continuous snow removal with heavy machninery is ongoing taking the once crystal white feathers out of town dumping it somewhere nearby into the sea. Roads remain compacted,  icy and slippery. Majority of pavements the same.

Solar noon was at 11:46am today with the sun reaching its maximum of 3° above the horizon, still providing significant daylight, I think.

Today’s average low biking speed of 9.7 km/h is caused by some snow stops paired with plenty of photo stops. Total duration of the trip was just below 2 hours gross in relation to the recoreded net moving time of 1:11 hours. It can be a challenge to keep feet and fingers warm under these conditions. Training ongoing.

The reward comes with another Lofoten-Light-Show. Southerly directions dominated by a low band of very heavy dark clouds while the northerner sky shows illuminated milky clouds with blue patches. Impressive contrast.

All pain forgotten! More snow expected.

Fair winds…
