Gausdal is in Central Norway where temperatures frequently dip into the -40s, and reach -50c as well. Away from water, Norway is at its coldest. This means that despite being farther north, Hammerfest or even Svalbard Island aren't actually colder then the central parts of Norway.

"Gosh, all this snow sure is making it hard to drive." Perhaps has crossed your mind.

That's nice, but do your roads have tanks on them once the snow starts to fall?

OPRECLIB

Chemical softeners such as Sorbix are used as precursors in the production of chemical weapons, which during the instability in Libya, has been an ongoing concern.

Several of the chemical team members can be seen wearing OP RECSYR patches too. This denotes that they partook in the Nordic led mission to remove and degrade Syria's chemical stockpile and precursors as well.

As noted above, many participating members of OPRECLIB - military and OPCW - were also participants in OP RECSYR.
