    I visited Norway once, in the early '80s. I was a kid, riding in the back of the family station wagon. It was raining like hell. Hard rain, like I’ve only seen on tropical islands, and one time in Mississippi. Then it very quickly stopped. The sun came out. Cars started pulling over on the side of the freeway. We kept driving along. People got out of cars, pulled out fold out chairs, many took off tops, or just rolled up sleeves, and sat by the side of the road, enjoying the bright sun. I don’t know if this is/was a rare occurrence, but it’s one of my stronger memories from our visit.
