Cooped Up? Get Uncooped.

I am officially jealous of Norwegians. These snowy billboards have been put at bus stops in Oslo to let people know when Tryvann Winter Park Resort has freshies. An SMS is sent to the sign when it begins snowing and the sign in turn begins blowing the artificial snow like a snow globe. Another message is sent when the snow stops. These would be pretty sweet in places like Salt Lake City and Denver, although I don't think they'd contribute much to productivity. I wonder how many bus riders traded a ride to work for a ride up to Tryvann. I think the number of "sick days" went up tremendously this winter. via Gizmodo
