Still 19 cm snow in Oslo (Blindern, 94 m), although there are no snow in the city centre (also due to ground heating). 62 cm at Bjørnholt (360 m) in the hills north of Oslo but still in Oslo municipality.
No snow in Stavanger and Bergen. But a little east of Bergen, Voss has 106 cm only 328 m asl.
Mountains of the SW Norway still huge snow depths, 229 cm at Røldalsfjellet 1010 m asl.
We got maybe 3 cm overnight, so about double that of fresh snow on the ski tracks up in the Bymarka hills - great!
63 cm near Røros (685 m asl at Aursunden)
103 cm snow depth in Tromsø now (100 m), a little less down in the city centre.
Here is a map showing snow depth in cm, as pr February 12th in Norway:

speaking of bergen. what's the all-time snowdepth record for the city itself?
^^From the sources I can find, the deepest ever snow cover in Bergen itself is (off course) a long time ago: 75 cm recorded at Fredriksberg/Nordnes in 1918.
With terrain with altitude and temperature differences in short distance, resolution is vital for snow depth maps.
Here is a closer look at central parts of Norway - snow depth on the morning of February 18th. Still lacking some resolution, as there insufficent recordings / too few stations recording snow depth, IMO.
Down to the right is Oslofjord.
High up is Trondheimsfjord.
West coast to the left, with steep snow gradient towards higher altitude.

today's. still much snow on the highest ground of the south swedish uplands. i can't understand why they don't invest in more frequent measurements of the snowdepth there.
only station that measures snowdepth (and only infrequently) in that particular area is malmbäck, 286 m.a.s.l, and the village is located in the lower terrain of that area.
tomtabacken, or the larger area around ekelsjö could possibly have snowdepths of 40-45cm now.
would be fun to get a better picture of the snow-conditions in the highest parts of götaland. the snow-climate there has more resemblance with gävle or turku than with all the other towns/cities in götaland.
