I think in summer you might find the mosquitoes too annoying to be outside with, and in winter -- you have to keep in mind its not just a shorter day, its also permanently sunrise/sunset on sunny days (depending on your latitude, it could also be just really dark) and mostly slate grey skies anyway so the concept of a "sun room" doesn't really make sense. I quite like Scandinavian winter (I'm in Sweden), but its not for everyone.

It is very beautiful up in Norway though, and the Norwegians are nice people.

Yup. Somewhere in or above the lofotens. I lived in Norway for 2 years; 7 of the months in or above Narvik/Harstad. I don't recall the mosquitos being problematic. And yes, pretty much night from late October to February.
