I have seen it once in the Sirdal mountain range just outside of Stavanger,me and an aussie mate were hiking up to his wifes cabin in -15 and waist deep snow,halfway up we stopped to rest and it started,was pretty cool,the dog was looking at it too,poor bugger,by the time we got up to the cabin his paws were big blocks of snow.
