Whenever I am in USA, i always have to tell people that Norway is not as cold as you think. The Golf current brings warm water from the Mexico Gulf, and it help us have relative high temperatures considering how high up north we are. Also note thet Norway is a very long country, I live close to Oslo which is in the southern part. In the period from mid january to mid march the temperature may go as lov as -30 degrees C, -35 degrees F, but usually only for a few days at a time. Average is somewhere around -10C (-25F). In the summertime Norway can sometimes be the hottest place in Europe!

>>>Actually it is 9:00 pm, and zero degrees C (32 degrees Fahrenheit).

>>That's a heat wave. We just hit our high for the day -13°C or 9°F.

>Better you than us! :) If you are still in Avon, you are about 5 miles from some relatives of mine. IAC, I would have guessed Norway to be colder than MN.
