I'm joshing a bit but we can have snow from around October to May. Big thing here is wind, we can get lots and also we can get hurricane strength storms over autumn and winter. And as you probably know it's wind which is more dangerous. Oslo is often colder than us but they usually have little wind. We can be milder in ambient temperature but with gale winds or stronger.
I love it here though and couldn't dream of living anywhere else.
Global warming is having an impact, we hit a record in 2019 over summer with 34 Celsius. Soon be the Arctjc Riviera!

snow in the afternoon, cold and heavy rain in the evening, so it was out with the dogs for the daily evening dog news sniffing tour in a BR CWU-9 liner underneath my original A-2 Deck Jacket... rather nice combination for the occasion.
the original lining in the deck jacket has become a bit thin over the years so the CWU liner had to stand in

Here in Chicagoland we've been experiencing a weird, rollercoaster winter so far. It's been raining all day today and hitting 45°F. Just not normal for Christmas -- let alone winter.

We had 2 and a half foot the other week in the space of 2 hours.
I don't mind snow so long as there's not too much of the bloody stuff.
Smithy's pet peeve = shovelling bloody snow.

yeah, we are living in Vienna.
the winter here has been quite an experience so far with really cold weather spells and nice snow but also rather warm but wet weather with heavy rain like today...
in the afternoon, it looked like we would get a white Christmas, but only for about two hours.
with a warm weather front blowing in from the west, the snow has gone and is replaced by mud.
this is how it looked in the afternoon when White Christmas was a short possibility

We have lots Jan!
And it's dark. Sun starts coming back ever so slightly on the 11th January.

Now THAT is my pet peeve about winter. I can do with the cold, I can settle for snow, but I would be much happier about it all if it was sunny from 8 AM to 8 PM.

Nice thing is over summer it's "midnight sun"
I don't mind the dark time, we have a soft light in the middle of the day and what little light there is is actually beautiful. And of course we have lots and lots of Northern Lights.

Unless there's snow it's usually clear here which means a soft, brightish kind of twilight in the middle of the day. The moon is often visible for most of daytime. It's actually very cosy as there's lots of lights that people put up on and around their houses, and of course it's pretty special to be outside and the entire sky is shimmering and undulating with the Northern Lights.

Shoooo! Let him keep it. This was last Christmas Eve. Had to postpone festivities for a couple days while I dug us out. This year it’s like spring and nobody’s coming

8 to 8? It IS the Winter Solstice -- I always expect that curtain to fall around 4:00 pm these days.

I’ve seen footage of the plows . Look like they’re in tunnels. Though winters aren’t as bad here as they were when I was a kid, they’ve never been anywhere near that. That’s crazy snow.

You guys historically get hammered pretty good with snow as I recall
