I’m convinced it’s the winters that get them

    Posting an image during the ten days at the height of summer when Norway gets sunshine, while neglecting the 99% of the year when its cold, dark, wet, and miserable.

      Our winters here aren’t much better. We hit -50C for 2 weeks last winter. The only benefit, I suppose is that we get a lot of sun during the winter, as we’re in a rain shadow.

          When you step outside, your face hurts. And that’s if it’s not windy. Unless you’re really bundled up, it feels like you’re naked in the cold, and your clothes are like a makeshift tarp you’ve wrapped around yourself.

            In these temps anyone will understand how cold can burn.

            I slept outside in -42 when I was in the army in Finland. Not a good night’s sleep, I’ll tell you that.

          Eh it is a dry cold…

          But really after -20 or so its all the same but you get injured quicker.

          I have lived in wet winter places (east cost of Canada, Ontario, Quebec) and I like my dry -50 more.

      The spring and summer is pretty good in Norway. Several weeks with 20+ weather and sunshine. It’s maybe more unstable on the west coast, but Norwegian summers are easily better than the heat wave summers you see south in Europe.
