Update: phew, the snow has returned, we are almost back to normal... but as my friend Sally says about Svalbard weather 'what is normal now?'
This is also what is called the blue hour, where the light and snow take on a very distinct blue.
Although there is snow [which to be fair should have been snow on top of snow, not snow on top of mooshy sloosh], it is still above zero degrees. It remains to be seen if the snow stays or if it all ends up in the fjord, again.
