Right now here in Bend, Oegon, USA, it is 3 PM, and the temperature is 8 degrees F (- 12 C). Wind chill below zero. Snowing lightly. Very cold for our area, *extremely* cold for snow to be falling. But probably a typical winter day in Norway. Maybe like February 1842, when Anne was released from prison in Oslo with 2-month-old Ole, facing a 150-mile journey home to the north.
