Not really, usually we have temperatures above freezing. It can be 10 degrees celsius in both July and January. Compared to the rest of Norway, Bergen is a mild place. We had two or three extended freezes last year with a minimum of -7 degrees C.
Still, it's no tropical paradise either! ;-)

I am planning to install an extra heat-source so the space doesn't get below 5 degrees C. I would insulate the base, and add 50cm insulated walls at the base of the structure. I am thinking either heat-cables on the floor or a small space heater. And maybe replace the plastic-sheeting with translucent plastic windows.
