Hi there!I will be coming to Norway pretty soon, but before then i would like to know the firsthand experience of what the weather there is like..... I know the weather is verily cold, but how many months of winter do you have there?

Charist

Norwegian weather varies a lot, whereabouts are you going to be?

Like Charist said the weather in Norway varies alot and it completely depends on where you are comparing it to, to how you will find it.

I'm from England and I find the winters long and ALOT colder the coldness is gradual (November there was around -10 degrees difference from what I'm used to now its -20 degree difference.) I live in southern Norway so its warmer here than up north but we do hit -30 for the coldest months during the nights/late evening. I couldn't tell you how long the winter is exactly but it seems long to me as an english person. Long and dark :( Thankgod for a warm fire and comedy movies thats all I can say :D
