The reason is a low pressure system moving towards the archipelago from Norway. This made British newspapers give the incoming snow a rather special name: “Troll of Trondheim” – in Norwegian for “Troll from Trondheim”.
Was VG who first mentioned the case in this country.
British meteorologists believe the ‘Trondheim Troll’ will cast a white blanket over several areas of Britain. The worst should be between December 10 and 15.
– Scotland will be the first to notice, meteorologist Jim Dale tells British newspapers Mirror.
Then, by the way, London is expected to snow on December 11th.
Temperatures will also really make a difference.
– It will be the beginning of scraping the ice off the car, Dale tells the newspaper.
However, it remains to be seen whether the “Norwegian” snow will remain until Christmas.
– It will go from fridge to freezer, says the forecaster, and concludes it will put the British in a ‘strong position for Christmas’.
