Winter Storm Chaos Hits Scandinavia
| Quote From Source: | Large parts of Scandinavia have suffered power cuts and traffic chaos following a severe winter storm.
Up to 20cm of snow fell in southern and central Sweden on Thursday which, combined with strong winds, left thousands of households without electricity.
Ferries and trains were cancelled and traffic on many roads ground to a halt, with many minor accidents and vehicles going off the road.
The west coast of Norway suffered heavy rainfall and winds, with an industrial unit in Stavanger suffering a double blow as its roof collapsed after 50-60 cubic metres of water had accumulated on it.

Thanks for the story. Is that your car off the road?

No, that was pictures from the BBC article. And from Sweden.
Unfortunately there was a lack of dramatic pictures from Norway which I was hoping to find. The norwegian articles had dramatic text (in norwegian) and extremely undramatic pictures of people waiting for the bus (which never came). Most of the time they didn't have any pictures at all. And they are supposed to be professional news-reporters...
*shakes his head*
