Yeah, I saw that the Netherlands was forecast to get quite a bit of snow over the next few days. Hopefully @heywoodu will be able to snag a couple nice snowy photos for us.

Ah yes that's sand from the Sahara right? :d

There was the same phenomenon yesterday in the eastern part of France, the sky was orange and in the mountains the sand covered the snow.

First significant snowfall in one or two years and probably the first time in 5-6 years it actually will stay around for at least a week (forecasts are for it to not be over zero degrees until the end of February, including during sunny days :d).

 

And the best of all, @brunamoura just finished a session of some fun and actual cross-country skiing right on the street in front of my house! :cheer: Literally on the evening before going to Austria for the season, timing could not have been better. Despite (of course) using her oldest and most shitty pair of skis, wrong poles, wrong gloves and not having any kind of prepared track, she said she felt great :cheer:

@NearPup You seem to have brought the Canadian weather down with you :p

 

It snowed throughout Texas yesterday. Temperatures are insanely low for the part of the US. Snow was also forecast for parts of Louisiana, Alabama, Arkansas, North Carolina, etc.

    • 55th place for  Duda in today's U23 sprint qualifying. That's 11 points for Brazil in the ranking, alright, but more importantly for us: 11 points that @brunamouracan definitely make up in Trondheim.   Make up, you say? Yeah, here is the double situation: we want Brazil to get in the top-30 and have a second ticket, obviously, since it increases everyone's chance, including Bruna's. However, if Brazil has two tickets, the federation has decided that the first one will go to whoever gets the most points for the nations ranking. Duda is the only junior/U23 athlete who is in the fight for the Olympics, and therefore she obviously has a massive advantage simply because of her age - she can start in the U23 world championships, after all. She'll have the sprint, interval and mass start races to score points, plus the mixed relay.   That is quite a big points haul that is hard to overtake, considering she will of course also compete in Trondheim. The good thing about Trondheim is that, at least according to the federation's own rules, Duda is out of the team sprint, and so Bruna can make up quite a bit of points there. Finish way ahead of her in the sprint and the 10k as well, and the Schilpario points can be made up.   In other words, mixed feelings: we need Duda to do well in Schilpario, because of Brazil getting in the top-30, but we also need her not to do that well, or else a potential second ticket will simply be hers by virtue of being young enough to compete in the U23 world championships.   By the way, if Brazil ends up with 1 ticket, it will depend entirely on their internal rankings, which Bruna is leading with a large margin at the moment.
