I know winter is quite dark in Norway and the further north you go the darker it gets until the point of getting no proper sunlight whatsoever throughout the winter.
However when it comes to Oslo how many hours of daylight do you normally get in December, January and February? [According to this website](https://www.worlddata.info/europe/norway/sunset.php) you usually get 6 hours in December, around 7 hours in January and 9 hours in February, is that right?

The sunset and sunrise time is similar to what you see in that website. However most of the days in winter it is cloudy so not much of actual sunlight comes through. If there is snow then it gets a little brighter all around.

Go to work in the dark, go home from work in the dark. Slowly turn into Gollum and forget what the sun looks like. Till the weekend.
As well as what the others have written, the sun is low in the sky all day at this time of year. This means that the brightness of the light is much less than in summer, and people near hills are often in shadow for much longer.
Sounds about right. Sun is up around 9-15 at the darkest.
Welcome to the dark ages. You get used to it, but it’s pretty accurate.
What is this sun you speak of, it sounds familiar but i cant recall its meaning.
Daylight? We dont do that here
Nice vulva plot, but what does each color represent?
Ah yes, the theory. Of course the theory is correct.
Practice, however, says that from november till march, Oslo is under a gray blob of fog and clouds for most of the time. So, yeah, the graph is correct if you’re above the clouds (which sometimes might be just a metro ride away, to the top of Holmenkollen, so it’s not THAT bad).
Sunrise at around 7-8 and down around 15-16. After Christmas, which symbolicly marks the winter soltice and the longest night, the days get longer. At the summer soltice sunrise is at around 3-4 and sunset around midnight.
