The difference that shady vs open areas makes. It's not that it was above freezing since the 4-5" of snow fell Friday night, just that Saturday and Sunday were both sunny days. Photos were taken within 30min of each other this afternoon.
It's not like around the winter equinox when it was constantly overcast with 23deg solar noon and 9 hour days. Now we're getting much more cloudless days, 48deg solar noon and 12:20 hour days, and it makes a big difference whether the ground is in the shade or not.
Sunny day today March 30th in Trondheim
Afternoon, temperature was in the double digits.
Snow is visible on the highest part of those mountains north of the fjord, which reach up to 500-600 m (1800 ft) above sea level (Kjerringklumpen 602 m ASL).
Crocus is now flowering
March has been warmer than average in pretty much all of Norway, especially from here and further north. Trondheim was sunniest in Norway in February, and will be the sunniest city by far in March.
Went down to Oakville today. Loads of painted lady (Vanessa cardui) butterflies, any flowering shrub had dozens of butterflies on them and there were quite a lot drawn to the scillia, jacinths, etc too. A fair bit of Red Admirals too. Hard to photograph though since they frightened easily.
Here's a painted lady on some scillia though.
Daffodils also blooming.
Star magnolias too, I think this is a couple days earlier than last year, which was already a rather early year.
Forsythias.
Shrubs starting to leaf out, this one's Japanese honeysuckle.
(there was even a small understory ornamental tree starting to leaf out, not sure what kind)
Azalea
Cornelian cherry
Japanese pieris.
