Back from the world championship in XC skiing in Trondheim.
A very vet experience, and warm for the period, no frost 
Lots of raincoats seen.
Good image, Bent, that describes the weather situation well. But the spectator crowd did show up anyway, which proof that the locals of Trondheim are used to bad and variable weather :-)
I was at the XC championship as well (at the sprint sessions 27 th february), but had better luck with sunny weather.
I am not very surprised over these weather conditions in Trondheim in Mars (I studied there from 1996 to 2001), but to see the snow conditions in many mountain areas in Norway this winter is really depressing. It has been several warm periods high up in the mountains in southern Norway this winter, where it use to be stable and cold during this period.
Here in the mountains near Lillehammer, the snow situation is better, but still below average..
