Beginning to get a bit annoyed with the news channels in the UK and their complete over reaction to the current cold weather. They claim that it is colder in UK than in Norway and Finland, I believe temperatures in Norway have been -40C in places this week. Stavanger is currently -9C and Oslo -16C (mid afternoon).
Side roads here very rarely get gritted or cleared. It is compulsory to have winter tyres from October to April on your car.
We also wear appropriate clothes for the conditions. I have wool longjohns and matching top, extremely comfortable and warm. Good quality boots and for icy conditions we have crampon like covers for shoes.
