This message is from: "Janne" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Well, here's a norskie with some info on temps in winter wonderland, Norge.
It all depends where you live, but most of the fjord population lives on or near the West coast, with exceptions of course. Norway is actually not as cold as you think, unless you live in Finnmark, the northern islands or way inland on the mountain plateau's (sp?) On the west coast it is very humid, and it can be quite windy, but the temps do rarely hit the 20 below and lower we see here in the Dakotas or west. The Gulf stream keeps us warm. Fjords do well in cold climates anywhere, I think, as mine endure down to 40 below if needed, tho have shelter form the wind. So, to say they are climatized to cold weather from of old would seem a fair statement. I always tell anyone that in Norway only reindeer live where it is as cold as it gets in ND in the winter, people are to smart to live there. Does not go over well sometimes, haha. Neither does my statement that the highest point in ND is a haybale. The only hills come from going DOWN, like in the badlands. :> Must be love that brought me here! Janne in 10 below ND
