  Sorry to disappoint you, but this is what Oslo-winters are all about:

  It rains
  It gets colder
  It snows
  It gets warmer
  The snow melts
  It gets colder
  The water turns to ice
  Old people fall over and break the hip/neck of the femur and end up in hospital

  And then sometime in January/February we get snow. At this point everyone’s fed up of winter and dreams of springtime and noone wants the *%&¤* snow anyway… but we’ll probably get a ton of it, it’ll heap up and Mesta (the road administration) gets yelled at for not getting the snow away in time. Everyone’s stressed out, the traffic is a nightmare, people slid off the road and into ditches - or into other cars. The underground is greatly delayed, the buses can’t get through, everyone’s late for work and the people in Finnmark (furthest north) mocks the inhabitants of Oslo for not knowing how to handle real winter.
