'Cos the runways are suffering from jaundice? Grin

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

It could be because of snow, or because of the angle of the sun. If the sun hits the roads (over here at least) at a very shallow angle, the white paint becomes almost impossible to see and the yellow paint looks like it is white. Because of Norway's high latitude it could be for this reason.

I'd imagine because of snow, but then again, would yellow be somewhat difficult to see when covered (lightly or not) by snow?

Could be something to do with......ummm......

I'll get back to you on that one. Cheesy
