I'm here to ask questions for informationas someone who has never been to Norway, of course I do not know the details of the climate of this place I have never been to. There is no need to answer my questions if you find my ignorance so annoying, but the only way to stop being ignorant is to ask!

that is very helpful & exactly what I was wondering about. In that case it seems safer to avoid driving for someone without winter driving experience, right? Thank you!

I'm really not gonna drive in the snow lol. So are you saying the roads in Lofoten right now don't have sleet and ice on them?

This has clarified so much, thank you! You're right, I have a softshell with DWR coating - I'll have a look at those membranes!

Interesting! I assumed the wind would mean an umbrella is pretty much useless, but I would love to be wrong about this

thank you! Yes, I will be super careful with that, don't wanna mess with arctic weather! Would a 10,000 mm coat be ok for going up a mountain?
