Not too bad.
-6ºC, slight cold breeze, with some snowfall on/off. Tomorrow it'll be about -9, with -10 or more lying in wait for the weekend. Feels pretty good living on the coast.

Why do Scandinavians always pretend Scandinavia is oh so cold?

You obviously have cold areas up north but that's a tiny portion of your population who lives up there.

Canada has considerably colder/snowy places at southernmost locations than all Scandinavian countries and they don't brag about it.

Scandinavia is pretty cold compared to the rest of Western Europe. We just don't have vast in-land areas like North America/Canada/Russia, and mainly Norway is also protected by the Gulf Stream. Still, you have to factor in that even -5 can be horrible when you count in harsh winds and high humidity.

>>53516425

I've never heard a norwegian bragging about cold weather. Sounds more like finnish autism tbqh.

>>53516425
>Why do Scandinavians always pretend Scandinavia is oh so cold?

That would be Finns, and they aren't Scandinavians.

I am however guilty of shitposting about Canadians not being northerners, because Canada is not particularly northern.

This idea that only northern Norway is cold is also pretty stupid, and is clearly said by someone who knows little about Norway.

Naantali, Finland (i live there) was like this the whole last week. Naantali is in the south and is about as near to the gulf stream as you can get in Finland

>(This pic was taken in the end of may in southern Norway).

Accumulation of snow does not mean a place is cold, just that it has high levels of precipitation.

You don't need extremely cold temperatures for that.

I'll give in and say that that's a lot of snow though.

>>53515239
8ºC and rainy.

Same thing here, this is around 45 mins from where I live and right now there 22ºC in Canary Islands.

>>53517308
True. Towns like Lillehammer, Kongsberg, and even Oslo and Drammen are actually fairly cold, and consistently so too. Röros is one of the colder towns in the country, and that's pretty south. Only Karasjok and Kautokeino really surpass it in cold records. Alta (north) has a slightly larger population than Kiruna, and is equally cold most of the time. It just depends.

>>53517729
And how many people live in those cities?

I checked Kiruna... the population there is really low.

Compare that to Winnipeg for example.

Cities are smaller here though. Kiruna is still in our top 50 cities. Luleå is ranked 22 in population.

what's the lowest temperature you've faced there

>>53517623
>Accumulation of snow does not mean a place is cold, just that it has high levels of precipitation.
Of course. It's just a picture that shows how little you know about Norway and its geography. And you didn't just say cold, but also snowy.

>>53518000
Winnipeg is about the size of Oslo, the by far largest city in Norway. Norway's population is quite spread out, although most live in southern Norway along the coast.

>>53518000
20k, 20k, 600k, 60k, 6k. Toronto's metro is literally larger than all of the country combined in terms of population, so it's not really a very comparable field. I don't know why people settled down in Winnipeg, but Norwegians settled on the coast because fish was our largest economy before oil, with exceptions being mining towns.

>>53516754
Nah. Winter here in göteborg is mild as fuck. The swedes who complain about the cold around here are comical.

>>53518537
Göteborg seems pretty inconsistent, but apparently it's gonna reach -17 in a few days, which isn't bad for southern Sweden.

>>53518604
Yeah I'll wear a scarf and gloves that day. No big deal.

>>53518452
That area can have -30 celsius last time i checked and it's protected from the gulfstream by Skanderna (the mountain chain going through finland, norway and sweden and it was also said to be one of the largest ever back a few hundred million years ago)

>>53518491
Not just in economy. In livability. Farming is generally pretty bad in Norway because it's mountainous and relatively cold all year around.

This isn't the place for farming.

The prairies have warm summers and decent flat land. It's historically where a lot and I mean LOT of wheat is grown.

>>53518452
Coldest I've ever experienced in Luleå was -40, but that was just once.
When I was there for christmas this year the coldest it got was -30. Usually it's around -5 to -20.

t. lived in there for 20 years, now live in the south

its going to be thawing though

>>53518661
I suppose that can be said about Scandinavia, checking summer temperatures, Canada is way warmer in Summer.

What do you guys farm in Norway? Oats?

>>53518765
Canuck in Sverige?

At what temperature (without shitposting) do you guys actually say ''ok, it's cold, I'll wear some warm clothes''

Again, be honest, just trying to have an idea

so this is the power..... of winter...

>>53519462
it's so powerful it turned the world upside down?

>>53519530
noice

>>53519377
You obviously wanna start coating up when reaching the sub-zeros, with winter boots and a proper jacket, but I'd say -10 and lower is when I'd bring out all the common winter robes. The few times I've experienced -30, I pretty much had to go double layer with everything I could.

>>53519866
What do you use to protect your face?

I've experienced -20 (lowest I've experienced) atop the Swiss Alps, and it was fucked.

My hands were constantly tearing up because of frostbite, one glove wasn't enough.

I thought it was weird because I only wore a beanie and that was enough to protect my head.

8°, sun is shining. Wtf. Just one week ago there were -12° and snowstorm.

Weather is going full retard since last summer.

>>53519377
>What do you guys farm in Norway? Oats?
Grass for animals is the most common, but the most common cereal grown is barley.

>At what temperature (without shitposting) do you guys actually say ''ok, it's cold, I'll wear some warm clothes''
Depends what warm clothes is, but you would want a proper jacket and proper shoes as soon as the summer is fading. But then I live in a place with some of the shittiest climate in Norway.

>>53520101
Scarf/beanie is usually enough. It can get pretty cold on the face, but nothing you'll die from. You don't wanna walk around in a ski mask, as then you'd probably trigger the police. It's more important protecting your hands and feet than your face.
