I live in Norway. And I am dumbfounded of how people can say that Norway is a hotter place than Sweden and Finland, generally. I live in the South of Norway (furthest away from Antarctica). And around December 2009 it was so cold that cars stopped in the roads because the engines froze. The coldest I've seen this winter was -43 degrees Celcius. And that was outside Oslo, far from North of Norway. In Sweden, it only drops to around -20-25. Not sure about Finland,though. Not here to make a circus babble drama. But I am seriously wondering how people can say this. I am a native Norwegian so I am used to the cold winters and hot summers. But even I can say I'd rather live over in Sweden when it comes to the weather differences. Just to give an example for extreme weather changes. June 2009 it was as hot as +55 Celcius outside my house.
