I've heard it frequently growing up in tromsø.

We have our share of bizarre weather this winter - while it's customary for snow to melt right before Christmas - I can't recall there being this little snow not only in December - but through Christmas and well into January.

I just went for a walk and watched people skating on the nearest pond - which is usually frozen this time of year, but also covered in a meter or more of snow.

Meanwhile they're having a white Christmas in Bergen.
