Norwegian Wind Storm Makes it Impossible to Cross Streets

Storm Ivar is passing through Northern Europe, and it looks like it wants to take Norway with it, one frustrated Christmas shopper at a time.

Euronews published a video of people in Aalesund, Norway attempting to cross a street and failing miserably. The winds increasingly worsen, so much that local police carried some across the road to safety. While everyone in this clip eventually gets where they're going, Euronews reports that one man was blown into an intersection in an accident that required an ambulance.

The strong winds are just the latest in weird weather we've had this winter, which also includes the rare snowstorm in the Middle East.
