The link above presents an NRK (Norway State Broadcasting) slideshow of the spiraling ice outside the coast of Southern Norway that was discovered more than a month ago, still going strong. This is a very rare thing, explains oceanographer Lars Petter Røed, to yr.no, a Norwegian wather forecasting agency: "I can't remember ever to have seen anything like it! It's a dreidel!". The oceanographer goes on to explain how the ocean currents in Skagerrak have changed direction from counter clockwise to clockwise, due to extremely cold winds coming in from Siberia in Northern Russia this winter that have made the temperatures over here drop below -20 ºC or -4 ºF this winter, and brought tons of snow and freezing over our normally ice free ports.
