Last week, winter storm Ivar battered Scandinavia. Winds were particularly high in the Norwegian town of Ă…lesund – with interesting consequences for pedestrians.
Aah . . . fresh air!

The idle musings of a former military man, former computer geek, medically retired pastor and now full-time writer. Contents guaranteed to offend the politically correct and anal-retentive from time to time. My approach to life is that it should be taken with a large helping of laughter, and sufficient firepower to keep it tamed!

Ha. That doesn't look all that different from normal day in the White mountains. The Mount Washington Weather Observatory has a Century Club. To get admitted, you have to walk around the observatory deck in 100mph sustained winds without touching anything for balance. They have a video at http://www.mountwashington.org/weather/obscast/ (click Century Club).
Try that with ice. "The Hawk" comes down the length of Lake Michigan and hits Michigan Avenue with a vengance. Used to be tons of videos of folks sliding backwards – have not bothered to look for them because I know your readers know how to use Google.
stay safe.
Looks like a normal day on the flight deck đŸ™‚
Reminds me of Adak, too. We sometimes had to link arms just to cross the parking lot.
