Winter in Norway can be unpredictable, we often get snow at the end of November, there is also snow in December, but then comes something we in Norway call "Kakelina". Then the weather changes and the weather becomes mild, and the snow disappears again. This means that it is not certain that we will have snow at Christmas, this applies especially in the southern part of Norway. But then January comes and we get snow again, and in February there can be a lot of snow, but it varies from year to year. So when we get closer to Easter, and it starts to get warm again, and the snow melts, and the days get brighter, then we may experience a lot of snow in late April for a couple of days, and it also goes back to spring again, and the snow becomes gone for good that year! But next winter may be completely different, where we may not get snow until after the New Year, or the snow already settles in October. We never know what kind of winter is coming!!

No, the oil did NOT appear when Sweden did not rule over Norway in 1905. We invited the American Phillip Petroleum, in the 60s, to see if there was oil in the Norwegian Sea, and when they found it, we kicked them out and took the oil for ourselves!

Jepp. Du har så rett så rett.

There are 2 spots like that ... 1 for Norway/Sweden/Finland ... and then there is the other one where you definitly CAN'T run around and that is Norway/Finland/Russia ... you get fined for even touching the russian side of the marker.

The big problem with only having 2 real parties is that they end up spending all their energy trashtalking the other party, while in a system with multiple parties it becomes smarter for each party to spend energy describing what you want to do instead of splitting your negativity over multiple opponents. Just like in a 1vs1 or a 5 player game the value of hurting your opponents is different!

Yes, and having many parties also promotes creating coalitions which forces compromises. A LOT has to go "wrong" for 1 party to get big enough to have majority rule. While a minority 1 party regjering (government) is possible, you still have to get other parties cooperation to get things done, and this can be accomplished on a case by case basis with different parties involved. Can be challenging of course, but the system works better overall for a wider range of the population. You care about the farmers? Vote this. You care about the domestic predators? You definitely do NOT vote for the party that supports the farmers lol. It can be hard to find which party supports your views and not support something that is a no go for you though, politics is never easy.

Norwegians' taste buds are intact. That's why we don't need as much spice as other people. The ingredients are also of good quality, so we don't have to drown out their taste.

There are definitely roads with snow like that. So not a joke at all.

The road between the snow is real. We have really big snow-throwers mounted on big-ass trucks.

Kit Kat really is the sad version of Kvikk Lunsj.

Center of the border between Norway, Sweden and Finland you can run around but we have one more point where you have Russia, Finland and Norway meet.

Second winter 😂 That is hilarious, especially since the snow is back now in April. (It was gone and we had sun and thing smelt of spring and the birds chirped and now it's back to shoveling snow)

No, Norway got rich from renewable energy. In 1909 we started massive investments in hydroelectric power and in 1910 the process of getting nitrogen out of the air was invented, but it requires massive amounts of electricity. So we completely dominated the world in artificial fertilizer and still do. Then we became world leading on aluminium production, which also requires a lot of power. This is probably why, when we found oil and gas, we were able to nationalize it, because we weren't desperate for money.

The dichotomy between Norway being green and a big exporter of petroleum, is very simple; the world was dependent on oil and gas long before we found it. People have gas stoves, gas fridges, gas heating. We can ask them to move to electric, but it's a very big project. It's good for us that we can make money on petro, but it's also good that our friends don't have to suffer. The changes has to happen on the demand side.

Well, you can get an x-tra hot version of the taco sauce here, but dunno how it compares to foreign alternatives? Personally that's the one I use and I can taste the food just fine with that. The thing is though, the more you use chili products the less sensitive to it you become, so if the Norwegian stereotype tend to be sensitive to spicy food then that's just because we don't use it enough in our food to begin with. I'm used to putting Habanero tabasco on certain food, which have more of a kick to it and make me near immune to less spicy products, thus the stronger variants of taco sauce just give me a pleasantly warm sensation and a more tingly experience that only compliment the flavor, rather than take it away. :3

16:38 a bit like where Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Arizona meets. I remember it from Breaking Bad, 🥸

Yes, it's true. This is close to Finse. The snow is 6 meters deep.

The guitarriff is referencing the banjos in Deliverance😊

EYYY finally u pronounced words the correct way🎉 Made me proud😂💪🏼

I submitted three videos to you about the snow walls and snow shoveling stuff. I hope that clarifies things a bit, but such tall snow walls is mostly an issue on the mountain roads. Regular norwegians still see a lot of snow but not (usually) those conditions.

in reality we do eat a lot of those, grandiosa and kvikk lunch, but.. in our defence, they are also items that a lot of the time have specials and sales, so like get 4 and its cheap etc. so if you dont have a lot of money, its actually a cheap way to get dinner that tastes ok. the chocolates are great too, cheap in large numbers and taste good.

----- - Norway isn't exactly known for being a tropical country by any means... And as such, we tend to take the piss out of ourselves for that very reason. A good example of this, there is an age old joke that goes something like this...: "An African man moved to Norway for work... After a year of living in Norway, he wrote home about his experience living in Norway. - All goes pretty well here up north. The only thing that really bothers me is the fact that they have two winters up here; One white and one green." It might not be the funniest of jokes, but it's very true from an outsider's perspective... Especially if you consider people's place of origin when they come here either for work or to stay permanently. -----

Its the same for spices, at least for our older generation where dill and parsley supose to be strong spices.. and allspice in special occasion!

Not unusual to have snow still on the ground at 17. May or April is wonderful warm just so May and June is ice cold… And the snow picture is real. Really big snow plough.

11:28 If there's one thing that Norwegians are good at, it is being good at not tolerating very spicy things. For instance, what Norwegians would consider spicy, a Mexican would consider Medium, heck, probably closer to Mild if we're being realistic here.

I used to travel up north mire when I was younger, and the snow would be taller than the adult, even around houses. I never thought much of it then, other than; fun snow! But I dug a snow cave down lol And even where I live, getting 2-3 different periods of snow over the later half/beginning og the year is not uncommon😅 But also getting almost no snow, maybe the American equivalent of snow, also happens. It just depends.

Up here in the north you can have snow in June soooo yes second winter is definitly something 😛, We did not find oil before in the 60's so there was a few years after we got our own country.

There are currently 11 different events in Olympic Biathlon, with various distances, team events, male, female, and a mixed event. Norway tops the all-time gold medal and total medal tables, followed by Germany and France. Of the total of 288 medals awarded in this event since its introduction into the Winter Olympics in 1960 (the 20 km event only at that time), Norway has won 55, Canada 3, and the US 0.

Greetings from Norway❤

this year we had winter, -3 c where i live.. it got to + 1-5c again and one week later (secondwinter) some places in northen norway had -50 c.......... :D

About the oil, Tyler, check out how the oil is extracted. One might say it is contradictory and it is what it is, but the production is also the cleanest production worldwide. Top of the class, nobody does it better. Norway, they're great with oil. Better Norway than USA, the Canada or the Brits. Check it out, don't trust me, don't take it from me, check it out from whomever.

You´re spot on with the "ostehøvel"! I am seriosly amazed! You might even find a "certified Norwegian" diploma in your post one of these days ;) 1905 has nothing to do with oil - that´s more a ´50´s thing. We had to change our mattresses because they started to bulge because of all the money in them... 1905 is the year we finally cut loose from the Swedes. It wasn´t a big fuzz, it was a peacefully made deal. Now, let me answer this once and for all, because I´ve seen this question and your answers lots of times before! YES, we have snow drifrs that will easily cover two or three buses in height. They do not magically appear though, they are the result of constantly trying to keep any road open during winter, and it sometimes means blowing that snow so high not even NASA will find it.

Ohh.. the snow road is real! But it’s over the mountains 🙂

Oil will ALWAYS be necessary until someone make a better lubricant. As well as better performing long haul vehicles that aren´t powered by fossile fuel.

Father winter have a hard time let go when it snow on a sunny day , like 17 of May when spring shud been over. yup second winter feels.right there.

This is over the mountain.

First off; we can have Winter almost all year. I have been on a trip in the mountains in May, and it was snowing a bit, and I have heard of snow in July. The snow piles can be high, as in "Meanwhile in Norway". I haven`t experienced it, as I live on the west coast, and we have milder weather. But once it was so high that I fell through to my waist trying to get past a bus that got stuck in the snow. As for spicy sauce. Yes, mostly I hear people want the mild or medium sauce, I am a spicy lady, so I can handle it! Just not spicy sauce, chili and jalapeño on the same taco!
