Norway, in other words.
Obligatory Led Zeppelin link.
Been here a few days and almost ready to head to tromso where it will be really cold. I mean, it hasn’t been a picnic here weather wise and today it rained most of the day.
It is interesting.
And for rest of us that don’t live down under and can’t see your link

I’m not sure how living down under enables me to see the link in Oslo, but thanks anyway 
I dunno, I was just going by your location (Australia). Either way, the link doesn’t work for those of us in the States.
ETA, I just saw the word Norway in the OP.
Maybe restricted to Europe- anyway, thanks as I would not have known.
Been raining and dreary all day. If it was snowing it would at least be scenic (for me) but at the moment it has been- well, wet, and cold. I can understand the Vikings going overseas to invade other lands.
Nope, just appears to be blocked for the US - I can see it fine.
It can’t be that cold if it’s raining! (From my Canadian perspective, anyway.)
Was about 30 Fahrenheit today- which from my Australian perspective is as cold as anywhere on earth ever needs to get.
Yesterday we did a harbour cruise. Expected some launch to turn up but nooooo- it was a schooner. When the bought out hurricane lanterns and blankets for everyone I guessed it would be cold but it was freezing! And the sun was out.
One thing I find unusual is the ability to take pets on public transport. You can be seeing eye to eye with some huge dog.
-1ºC? Yeah, I’d put on a sweater at that temperature. 
I put on everything I owned. Even the sharp looking cossack hat I had bought (made in China.)
I looked like a defrocked priest.
You warm weather people are so cute.
I don’t wear a coat till the temperature is in the 20F range. Not then if it’s sunny and still.
Should’ve come to Scotland!
You’re telling me it doesn’t get cold in Scotland? What was that white stuff that kept me indoors in Braemar?
Having had some friends from Scotland, I understand that it does indeed get cold, but it presents no problem, so long as they can punch each other in the mouth to keep warm. 
Us Canadians go a different route - we prefer cuddling for warmth. (It’s a little surprising our birth rate isn’t higher.)
I have to admit, though, I can brag about cold weather, but I die in the heat. Australia would kill me.
Oh, those are sheep. They’re generally harmless.
Agree to all this. A former coworker of mine, born and raised in Sweden, laughs at all the Minnesotans who ask him about the cold there. It doesn’t get nearly as cold there as here.
For really cold weather, go to the center of a large land mass. Try Edmonton, Winnipeg, or Nizhny-Novgorad.
(raises hand)
ooh, wait! I’ve got a better idea!
DON’T go there…
Jeez,… what’s with you tundra addicts?
It’s like listening to some bore at a cocktail party tell you how great it was to be poor, and how he benefitted so much, and enjoyed it…
Yeah, buddy. I get—you didn’t have any other options, so you made the best of it, yadda, yadda…Good for you. But just 'cause you got your religion, don’t bother playing evangelist to me, 'cause I ain’t converting.
Me, I live in a nice sunny climate where I keep all my windows open almost all year round, with the smell of jasmine and lavender wafting through my house from the garden, which is always full of colorful flowers in bloom, year-round.
And now: a data point, to determine once and for all which climate is worse:
There was once a fine little program on the National Georgraphic Channe. Four episodes in a seriesl where a reporter visited the 4 most extreme points on earth that are inhabited full time. The hottest, the coldest, the driest, and the wettest places he could find.
The hottest spot was in the Sahara desert. He joined the locals there to live with a family and learn their lifestyle, and with every movement of his body,he was clearly suffering discomfort from the heat. He had trouble smiling for the camera.
The coldest spot was in Siberia. When he joined the locals there to live, he also tried to join in their lifestyle…But with each movement of his body, he was not just suffering…he was terrified of the extreme pain involved. He made no attempt to smile—you could see the pain on his face.
So I hereby declare it official—an objective reporter from a respected nature journal has proven that winter hurts more than summer.
All you Norwegians and Minnesotans are, well,…Norwegians and Minnesotans.
(and in case you’re wondering about the other two extremes dicussed on the program: the dryest climate was in the Andes mountains of Peru, where the climate was, of course, dry…but not particulary unpleasant .
And the wettest climate was a village in India during the monsoons…That episode of the show was a fascinating look at human stupidity. The rain is nonstop and drenching.so the villagers are constantly wet, and don’t try to avoid it. Okay…But the stupid thing is that they build their houses with tin roofs,on which the rain echoes so loudly that the reporter said you can’t carry on a conversation inside the house. Also, it makes you feel like you have to go pee all the time.Now, who wants to live like that? 
Well, you don’t live outside in cold weather. I’ve lived in winter in Northern Canada - I was almost never uncomfortable unless I was going for a walk, and then I would wear appropriate clothing. I’m not sure why he would be in so much discomfort. 
What is with you people who like hot, sunny climes? Y’all bore me to tears with your constant bragging about your hot, sunny climes. 
As for needing to pee a lot. Maybe some people like it. 
No climate is worse. Maybe we all just prefer different things.
Cicero, I hope the weather changes for you to either snow or sun.
Thank you so much for that link! I’d lost my own and missed it. You can find different versions on YouTube but yours is the best one.
