Interesting. That means that Sweden has colder winters than Iceland... Generally, the winter temperatures in the north can go under -30 degrees. The record is -53°C, though that is extreme temperatures. But then again I guess it's understandable that Iceland is warmer, surrounded by a warm sea and hot volcanos.

You who live in countries with those extreme temperatures could open a thread to explain how you live in your countries in winter. This could be a very interesting thread.

Haha, yes, it looks like it is much needed

At least in my city always is the same, because it's hot and sometimes it's cold, really you don't know what kind to weather you prefer, it pront will be it cold, because already it come the winter.

Sincerely yours.

Yes, there are a wide range of temperatures from winter to summer here, too. But that's a different thing that living somewhere with such temperatures below 0ºC. Here is common to be between 0 and -5ºC in winter, but once, years ago, we were about -15ºC for a week, more or less. The pipes freezed continously and the water fell over the street and quickly it froze; people didn't use their cars and it was very dangerous go into the bus, since I saw several of them slipping. I had ice inside of the windows (they were simple windows) and I used to sleep dressed. I can't think what kind of life must have people living between -40º - -50ºC.

Yes I'm agree with you, you have said, it's different some place where the temperature isn't very variable instead of other places the temperature is always of the like way.
