I had a long day at work and rode on what is now becoming skitracks (still lack a few more inches of snow)through the forrest on the way home. Two hour ride in 8 Fahrenheit. I use Sidi winterboots and my feet (and hands)were really, really cold as I got home. Still beats training indoors IMO.
I completely forgot how lucky I am and should stop being a wimp. Don't see many pics of Norway so time for you to get the camera out---Please.

And Wobbly--Much as your offer is tempting--As I found out 40 years ago when I went to Aden for a while--I can't take the heat. I was there for a boxing match and did not even make that- I got shipped out to Norway to continue Training in a more suitable climate. And the "Extra" cold temps we have right now are only supposed to last another week. Then it will be back to just cold.
