But I remember when i was a child, and the snow was way high every winter, must have been 3 meters, and it was always snowing, and "just" -20 here. We still had to go to school, and it was uphill both ways...
Anyways... -10-12 is normal here for winter, but -40 ffs...
"A student who threw a cake at Finance Minister Kristin Halvorsen last October has been charged with committing a crime against the Norwegian Constitution.
The cake attack occurred outside of the Finance Ministry on Halvorsen's first day in office, and the new minister was hit squarely in the back of the head.
Afterwards the student came forward in newspaper VG and said he had thrown the pastry in order to stimulate debate about whether Norway was well served by having a minister of finance from the Socialist Left Party.
The question of what the 24-year-old student would be charged with has been left up to the Director of Public Prosecutions, and the final decision carries a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison.
"We ended up with a relatively serious charge," chief public prosecutor Marit Bakkevig told VG.
The student from Valdres has been charged with violation paragraph 99 of the Criminal Code, hindering a member of the government from carrying out their duties. The man is also charged with assault and defamation by frightening or bothersome behavior.
Halvorsen, who did not press charges over the incident, has been summoned as a witness for the trial, which is scheduled to be held in Oslo on Oct. 11.
The man, who has maintained that the cake flinging was an innocent prank, was completely unprepared for the backlash of the stunt and has since dropped his studies and lost his job."
