Did you know Rudolph the Reindeer (and all reindeer in general) has no upper teeth?
Join us for beautiful pics of auroras, reindeer teeth trivia, and grousings about grocery prices! Whether you’re a born Norwegian, immigrant, tourist, or just think reindeer are cute, this is the place to be.
Due to the small size of Lemmy, and the even smaller size of the Norwegian part of Lemmy, contributors are encouraged to stick to English where possible.

I visited Norway once, in the early '80s. I was a kid, riding in the back of the family station wagon. It was raining like hell. Hard rain, like I've only seen on tropical islands, and one time in Mississippi. Then it very quickly stopped. The sun came out. Cars started pulling over on the side of the freeway. We kept driving along. People got out of cars, pulled out fold out chairs, many took off tops, or just rolled up sleeves, and sat by the side of the road, enjoying the bright sun. I don't know if this is/was a rare occurrence, but it's one of my stronger memories from our visit.
Must have been Bergen, they only get about 15 minutes of sunshine a year
You're pretty out of date. With climate change, it's about 30 minutes now
