At one point in time I did find something much more comprehensive.... they went into the details of why you get more hungry too, the processes that were being disrupted. You do burn a bit more in the cold, but that was the key - it wasn't that much more and not nearly as much as you *feel* like.
I'm not sure the time would really make too much of a difference -I'd guess the percentage more energy expended wouldn't change too much -though it may change another 1 or 2 percent or so for each 10-15C lower the temps go maybe? It would have to get pretty darn cold to get to a 10% extra calorie burn.
I'm not sure I'd survive winter in Norway these days... I've got too acclimated to this relatively neutral climate... It's around 0C here today and I find myself with little desire to go outsideIn college we lived in a place with cold, cold winters. I remember putting on all of my warm clothes to go out cross country skiing when it was something ridiculous like -60F with the windchill. Sounds more than intolerable to me now.
