Last week, we had a match against Viking, a big club in Norway from Stavanger, and played on a field that had just had the snow cleared off of it. It was a Norwegian experience to remember. Nearly two feet of snow fell in the days leading up to the match, but we were able to get the field cleared in time, so luckily the match went on as scheduled.
