Wednesday's forecast, hour by hour in detail.

We hoped for sunny winter weather, but it seems to be a little bit light snow in Drammen this week end. We have had snow for the last 2-3 weeks now, and we are well prepared for more. Last weekend in Oslo came out with light snow, but very good ice conditions. Snow will not either in Drammen, be a problem. Iceman is well used to handle this and will provide the very best ice conditions.
Temperatures around zero to 5-6 below zero, is perfect for bandy and for spectators at the stands. Kiosk and cafè will be located indoor, and hopefully you will have a good time at Marienlyst Ice Stadium and it's facilities.
Drive carefully, and we'll meet on Friday.

No there is a posiblity that we might change into  "Elitrapport".
If that can be setteled, we will change from our now well prepared "CoveritLIVE", and to the even more familiar "Elitrapport". We'll see. Someone is working real hard now, to establish the setup, peperations and education for the upcoming Championships in Drammen. Hang on....

From last weekend and Yoth19 in Oslo. Perfect Ice conditions, even when light snow. Russia became Champions.

We have beautiful winter weather, and heavy snow today tuesday.
We ar doing the vert best preperations, both on and off ice.
Congratulations to Russia who became World Champions Youth19 in Oslo. We were there to learn, and Ullevål IL made a good impression.
