Blog note. Jesus indicated that ‘fearful sights’ (various natural disasters) would occur leading up to the time known as the Tribulation and Great Tribulation (a combined seven year period of great destruction on earth). Although these types of things have occurred in the past for centuries and thousands of years, they could be identified as the ‘season of the times’ due to the ferociousness of these events. They would be occurring in greater intensity, severity, frequency, size, duration, scope … just like the pains that a woman experiences in labor the farther along she is in the labor process. We are in the ‘season of the times’ that comes just before the seven (7) year Tribulation/Great Tribulation period
… And great earthquakes shall be in diverse places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. (Luke 21:11).
… And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; (Luke 21:25)
… Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken; (Luke 21:26)
… This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. (2 Timothy 3:1)
Jesus is giving a series of prophecies about what to look for as the age of grace comes to a close. These verses are several of many such prophecies from throughout the Bible. 2017 was the worst year in recorded history for the intensity, frequency, severity, duration and occurrence of a large number of severe natural disasters worldwide. Earthquakes, volcanoes, hurricanes, typhoons, cyclones, torrential flooding, unprecedented wildfires in unusual places, devastating droughts, excessive/scorching heat setting records everywhere, record snowfalls in Europe and Russia. Snow in the Arabia. This list can go on. Most studied Eschatologists believe these ‘fearful sights’ and massive natural disasters are all part of the ‘CONVERGENCE’ of signs that this Biblical and prophetic age is closing. Most people who study prophecy are familiar with the routine reference(s) made that these things will be like a woman having labor.

Cold and record snow from north to south trigger road accidents, Norway. 30 (6×5) inches snow depth broke a 97-year old record. Five (5) areas affected; Troms and Nordland in the north to Agder and Telemark in the south and OSL Gardermoen. Temperatures have dropped as low as -30 °C (-22 °F) in Finnmarksvidda.

State meteorologists warn that slippery road conditions could get worse as the season’s first major snowfall in southern Norway continues causing lots of accidents. In Tromso, the snow depth on November 6 broke a 97-year old record.

Sub-freezing temperatures have hit most of the country that the road had become accident-prone. There have been many accidents due to some drivers losing control, reports said. However, some locals call it a national tradition for Norweigian drivers to skid off roads when the first snowfalls, and it was upheld on Friday, November 8.

Trucks and buses swerved out of control, blocking roads and causing traffic disruption. There was also bumper-to-bumper traffic on the E18 highway in the same period.

On Monday, November 11, the same situation occurred as snow fell hard and blocked roads. There were several serious accidents, with one minibus skidding in Ullensaker and hitting a female civilian.

In Oslo, buses and trucks encountered problems that drivers had to pullover at Skedmorkorset.

Flights were delayed at OSL Gardermoen due to bad weather conditions. Driving has also been challenging from Troms and Nordland in the north to Agder and Telemark in the south. Meteorologists said temperatures and rain could worsen in the following days.

The state meteorologic institute has issued “gold warnings” on November 11 as to the milder weather moves along the southern coast from Kristiansand up to the Oslo Fjord.

“It will be exciting to see what rain does to the layers of snow on the ground,” said meteorologist Vibeke Thyness.

In Tromso, snow was piling up and it is expected to go on this week. The area registered around 30 inches of snow even in the downtown area on November 6. “We had to go to the history books to find anything close,” said Geir Ottar Fagerlid of the state Meteorologic Institute. “The last time we had so much snow in Tromso so early in the autumn was in 1922.”

It has also been snowing for several days in Svalbard, while temperatures have dropped as low as -30 °C (-22 °F) in Finnmarksvidda.

Meanwhile, farther north, there have been record cold temperatures for November, with Bardufoss registering -29 °C (-20.2 °F). There were also near-freezing temperatures at Karasjokk in Finnmark.

Meteorologists added that there would be great winter days with good skiing conditions, despite the unusually heavy snow.

As of November 14, the deepest reported snow in Norway was in Kvitfjell, with depths of 1 000 mm (39 inches) on upper slopes and 400 mm (16 inches) lower down. On the other hand, Bjorli recorded 600 mm (24 inches) in the same period.

Norway smashed the record for the country’s coldest October as well with an average of 1.4 °C (34.5 °F), beating the one in 2009.
