Yeah one of the places we saw further north on the coast they only live there 7-8 months a year as they can get completely cut off and isolated in bad winters. But the scenery looked incredible.definitely can be but at the same time a bit exaggerated as well. On the west coast were I live, you have more a climate similar to what you'd find in Scotland/Newcastle just a bit colder.
Tons of rain and lots of wind is by far the worst weather, dark days with snow isn't a worry at all.
Northern Norway? horrible weather, horrible winters.
I couldn't eat that tinned / pickled fish though.
