It only snows occasionally, and our highest "mountain" is like 150 metres, so there isn't anywhere with snow permanently.
And as for the cold, we are right now in the ice winter to end all ice winters according to the media. In reality it means that for the past two months it's been between 0 and -10 degrees celsius (predominantly between 0 and -5 degrees).
But we truly have made some impact on the winter olympics. Our (half norwegian) contestant in ski shooting ended 3. last and last in the two events I think he participated in. And our womens curling team just lost 11-1 to China today.
