Northern Lights from outside of Reine, Norway

This is one of my favorite shots from the trip.  After driving around looking for something that might create an interesting foreground, we stumbled on this lone tree in the middle of a field.  Set up gear and within 20 minutes, the sky lit up so bright, all my settings that I did have, created extremely blown out shots.  I re-adjusted and this is the shot.

Never have seen the lights before, that is beautiful.  Not to ask dumb question, but is there any noise from those?

Seriously this shot needs to be printed and hung on one of your walls. How cold was it over?  I thought I remember reading that certain areas of coastal Norway don't get to cold due to the ocean currents that bring warmth.

It's also worth noting the reflected colors on the mountain.
