The unseasonably warm weather has lead to a rapid thaw in much of Norway in the last week. The NRK website has an interesting video of the river Sona in Stjørdal in Nord-Trøndelag (Trondheim area). You can see the flood wave racing down the river taking thick layers of ice with it.

This is terrifying, unstoppable… I am glad it was not you driving there… My goodness… I would be very worried if I lived in those lovely red houses so close to the river level…
Awesome power of water and ice… mesmerising… One large tree was just snapped like a matchstick and carried along with the sheer power of volume!
And the yellow houses and the white too were so vulnerable…
