Maybe because you are aware Myka.... I must confess I regularly think about the fact that we longer have a fire place in our house. We used to have 4 when we bought it but opted for space and modern look. That means we have no means of warming the house if the electricity drops out. You probably do not mean it that way but fear does not serve us in my view. There are lots of aware people who are stocking up in survival gear etc in anticipation of what may come our way. I have never felt the need. Whatever will come my way I have faith that my back is covered and things will work out.

Me too!! When we go off on holiday somewhere, it's usually some place warm like to the beach/ocean. I can take your shoes off and ground myself in the earth/water. If it was freezing cold, I feel very disconnected from the earth. Adding on layers of clothing to stay warm only adds to that feeling of separation.

This is more about amount of precipitation than temperature. Nothing strange with a bit of snow at these latitudes, it IS december and it is ICEland after all. The coastal climate makes for relatively "warmer" weather than say Siberia, but it's still below freezing levels anyhow, and this was a storm, so what is all the huff-huff?
Jumping on the wagon I could say there is global warming in Oslo, relatively little snow here this winter, due to temperatures flip-flopping between sub- and above freezing degrees, we had so much precipitation, though, that Oslo would look like this if December at been cold enough.
Edit: more like global freak weather than anything else

Edit: more like global freak weather than anything else I agree. Cold patterns shift. Alaska has been comparatively warm the last few years but this year the cold is brutal. Greenland set an all-time cold temp record the other day. -86 F, 65.5C. My laptop defaults to Microsoft news as home page. Near everyday there is a piece about warming. Seldom do they mention any record cold. Nor do they mention the more probable sun cycle aspect. Neil DeGrasse Tyson said global warming could put sea levels up to the elbows of the Statue of Liberty. That of course would put underwater most coastal cities. Funny though I lived on Cape Cod for 10 years. The cape is a low altitude bar of sand extending out into the Atlantic Ocean yet I don't know of any reports that the ocean has risen. BTY the Cape though is sinking a bit as the California coast rises.

Amazing how they pushed the climate change agenda during the Golden Globe awards with apparently 250 mln people watching.... Australia's wild fires were of course mentioned and someone even said "rest assured, this is ALL due to climate change".
The only reason they have these enormous wild fires in this Australian summer is because they stopped the ancient practice of the Aboriginals to deliberately set fire to certain areas during the winter. The reason they did this is because the eucalyptus leaves do not decompose. So during the winter these leaves would fall on the ground and provide the perfect fuel for an enormous fire in the summer unless..... you set them on fire in a controlled fashion as a precaution during the winter months....
The only reason they have the troubles now is that they (probably deliberately) stopped the natural way of dealing with it. And how easy is it to then set fire (probably deliberately) and blame it all on climate change.
Sometimes I almost wish I was one of the bad guys. It is sooooo easy to fool the public... The most watched evening show in the Netherlands of course spent a great deal of attention on Trumps latest attempt to draw Iran into aggressive action and thus WWIII. That is how I see it but the sheeple only see the bad wolf Iran.....Why can they not see with eyes to see??? It is soooo obvious.....
Sorry for the rant as Henrik would say.

"I see many good wolves on this forum Myka"
And I agree. I was referring more to political wolves.
