Tromsø is relatively mild for being so far north. Right now, we're experiencing a pleasant -8 degree (Celsius) period.
At least it would have been pleasant, exept there is a storm going on, and boy are storms at -8 degrees (Celsius) COLD! If you were to sneeze outside, you'd have horizontal icicles standing out of your face. Unless you sneeze against the wind.
Oh, well. At least the sun will be back in a few days. And it's comforting to know that it's even worse elsewere in northern Norway. And in Russia, they've been hitting -60 some places! Besides, the polar bears don't come out of their ice caves to swarm unwary citizens while the weather is like this.
