This may come a bit as a shocker, but climate in many parts of Norway, especially at the coast where people live, is much milder in winter than in Chicago. Compare climate charts of Bergen or Stavanger with those of Chicago and you will be surprised. Even in Oslo temperatures in winter are slightly highter in winter compared to Chicago.

It is mainly due to the Gulf Stream. Northern Europe would be much colder without it.
