First snow ❄️ = chaos in Oslo.

Two weeks ago.

2 weeks ago we had our first snow ❄️ day here in Oslo. I was happy like a child but most of my colleagues was not. They started to complain…

Everything is delayed in Oslo when the first snow ❄️ comes. It is the same shit every year.

I was waiting om “my” bus 23 for more then nine minutes, which is the normal amount off minutes om my side og Oslo to wait. Not talk about the metro 😂😂😂 which was standing still because of the snow 🤣😜😠 and signal failure at the National Theater, 3 stops closer to the city from my metro stop at Smestad.

I arrived the metro station in time. It was even three minutes left to when it was going but! the metro train did not go!! 😠😠 It was just standing there. 🤪😳

The metro driver came out of the train and told med and everyone else else that planed to catch it,

It will come a bus-instead-of-metro. (Very common in Oslo.) Go and wait on the other side. We do not know how close the bus-instead-of-metro is but it will come.

I waited.

I think I waited on this “metro-bus” for about twenty minutes before I catch a regular bus.

In the meantime I txted my co-worker about the delay traffic and that I was on my way even if that would take while.

I finally got on the bus, jumped off where the shortest walk to the School was according to google maps. Walked up-hill to work. Came forty-five minutes later then a normal day, just because of the snow. 😐

And it was not just me who where late. Almost a third of my colleagues was also late.

And most of our students because they are coming with a taxi, they where even more stuck in the traffic, poor students. 😕😕

What a day!

But it does not end there. … You see, the day after is most times even worst. The day after is everything is delay and that Day you are stuck in traffic!
