Lovely winter walk in Oslo park

  1. Looks like a nice and relaxing walk! Seriously though, walking outside isn’t fun at the moment. It’s the same where I live here in Sweden.

  2. Man, as a kid loooong time ago I used to love these. I would lay on the ground on my stomach, and try to pull myself up the icy hill grabbing whatever sticks and whatnots stuck in the ice, trying hard not to slide back down. And then do it again.

    Edit: Shiiiiieeeeet, just remembered I’m a grown-ass man now, nobody’s going to stop me from doing it again.

  3. Info: Daily mean winter temperature in Oslo has risen around 2 degrees (from -4,5 to -2,5) in the last 30-year period. This usually means periods of temperatures below freezing alternating with periods temperatures above freezing – all the way from december to march. A common result is seen in this picture. I slipped three times on my five minute walk from the shops and home, but managed to stay on my feet!

  4. Time to break tendons and pull some muscles. And most likely shatter your tailbone.

    I’m definitely not talking from experience.

  5. The goddamn path to the Blindern station almost killed me in so many occasions I decided to avoid it throughout the entire ice season.

  6. Vestlending who just moved to Oslo. Never again will I hear austlendingar complain about the bad weather in the west. Windy rain in the zero to fifteen degree range year-round is much preferable to this death trap!

  7. I’m only surviving thanks to the studded shoes, this winter has being specially warm here in Helsinki as well.
