The weather in Norway has always been warmer than its latitude would imply (compared to ex. Anchorage) due to the Gulf stream.

Not to the point of rain in February. I grew up there, but the last decade-and-a-half the winters have gone completely to hell.

The point is, anecdotes aren’t science.

The weather is (hotter|colder) than my perceived normal for this time, therefore climate change is (real|a hoax)!

You're looking at the data for Oslo, in the far south, while I was talking about northern Norway.
