I've heard it frequently growing up in tromsø.

We have our share of bizarre weather this winter - while it's customary for snow to melt right before Christmas - I can't recall there being this little snow not only in December - but through Christmas and well into January.

I just went for a walk and watched people skating on the nearest pond - which is usually frozen this time of year, but also covered in a meter or more of snow.

Meanwhile they're having a white Christmas in Bergen.

Oh I loved visiting your city in the summer, hope to have a chance to visit again in winter!!

That's how things were last year here in Lithuania. We never had a proper winter. This year it seems about normal in terms of snow, but temperatures feel a bit warmer (most of the season its been hovering around 0c, but is usually -10c)

Same here, TIL!
