Yeah much of Norway is very cold, esp in the arctic circle - however very few people live there. In the South it isn't so cold.

This is like saying Canada is cold because Yellowknife, when in reality 90% of the population lives within 100 miles of the US border. Like yeah, we can still get a decently cold winter in southern Ontario, but it's not remotely comparable to the actual arctic, or even places like Saskatoon and Edmonton.
