Snow in Bergen by Kristian Pletten on Flickr.Via Flickr:View Large On Black Edit: This photo has been replaced. A different picture and a different crop, same location and date. Reason: Ugly bush. My hometown Bergen at it’s best! I took this picture to describe this amazing winter we’ve just had. Keep on reading if you want to learn a thing or two about Bergen’s climate! Bergen experiences a lot of rain because it’s surrounded my mountains. About 2,250mm each year. We actually had an umbrella machine in downtown Bergen. A few years ago Bergen had rain for 85 consecutive days. Because of the Gulf Stream the temperature almost never drops beneath zero degree celsius. The average low temperature during the winter months is around -0.5 degrees, so if we get any snow, it won’t last for a long period of time. BUT! Guess what happened this year? We got a new record. We’ve had snow for 75 days now, AND counting! Kids love it, their parents don’t. Haha. As a photographer I love it. (not to fond of it at 5am when I’m out shoveling snow to get to work) So this photo is going to be special for me, atleast in the future. I can show this picture to my future kids and tell them that when I was younger we actually had a lot of snow, just like my dad and my grandad tell me today.
