By the way, Karasjok in the north of Norway measured -41 C today. -41! Crazy. My mother had her teenage years in Karasjok, and says she remembers some winters with temperatures close to -50 C, when they had to stay home from school. Well duh! Obviously.

There was an amusing news report about a café in Karasjok having to stay closed today. They’re usually open to 3 at night. They were worried that there were not enough taxis home for people, and that some would stumble home inebriated and basically die.
