how long is winter in Norway? is it very long? do you have a lot of snow there? is there really cold?

Paese o regione Norvegia

it's longer than 3 months. calendar might say otherwise, but the snow in my part of Norway has been here since late october and it's not gone yet.

Temp this morning was -12 degrees celsius, warmest temp this week was +8. coldest this winter was around -30, and the average has probably been about -15 to -20. I haven't been paying attention to that though.

That's specifically where I live, not nationwide. I live in the southern half of Norway, but it's not representative of the southern half.. Most places probably have less snow and slightly warmer temps.

Where I live there's one week or maybe two weeks worth of snow a year, usually between the end of january and the beginning of march. And the temperature rarely drops below zero. I live by the coast. If you define winter by meteorological standards then we don't actually have winter here where I live.

@dominika1999 yup. both winter and summer drag on too long for my liking. shorter seasons all around would be a good thing

@Eltayib I'm jealous about the snow, in Poland there hasn't been a lot of snow in years. thank you for your answer!

Because of global warming (I suppose) there's far more rain than snow during the winter months where I live (the west coast), and the last time we had snow on Christmas Eve was years ago.
Before, the winters usually lasted from November to April.
