Thanks Laurence (and Cosmin) I was hoping that this aspect could pass through the glass of the monitors

It would be kind of funny if they were not actually so scared.  actually it is still funny at least to look at. We have one big black lab and one chihuahua. Both are behind the couch with just there tails sticking out |
Yes I remember too that kind of wind, one day I was with a friend of mine who came to visit from here, we rented a car and went on the mountains surrounding Stavanger, it was cold but sunny most of the day, all at sudden at about half the afternoon, a cloud arrived and a terrible wind started, with snow falling almost parallel to the ground, not kidding! The wind was so strong, that inside the car, I could not, with all of my strenght (which is not little) open the car door! Not kidding again.
In 5 minutes, maybe less, a thick layer of snow deposited onto the road asphalt and instantly became ice pack. It changed from sunny-clean to snowy-undriveable in 5 minutes.
I don't remember a wind so strong except for the two tornados I have been inside (one near here the other one in Eivissa/Ibiza).

This shows that you are not a snow expert 
For snowing, temperatures must be around 0° C . With colder temperatures, it does not snow (at least, this is what happens here)
It was worst in the previous nights, when it was -4°C

Only a couple shots were so much stopped down. The majority was taken between f/2 to f/4. A couple ones wide open. Is your copy AE or MM? My AE copy is slightly softer in the corners wide open, but it has probably a tad more 3D. Anyway for your corners to be soft until f/5.6 on a crop camera, perhaps the lens has something wrong. On a crop camera, it should be almost perfect already wide open. Give the lens a try with film full frame, and if it's still so problematic, send it to Zeiss for recalibration.
There is a form to download on their site, that you must enclose in the package with the lens. They will charge you for a checkup but if it turns out that the lens needs calibration, and you accept to have it done, the checkup sum will not be charged in the final invoice.

Your story of the winds and snow in Norway remind me of the infamous Fohn wind in Geneva. A temperature drop of more than 15C in less than 30 mins can (as legend has it) cause people to die of the cold as they cross the river on the main bridge. I have experienced this wind, but not crossing the bridge - and it is devastatingly cold.

PS your pictures are as usual full of atmosphere and flavour.

Great shots - particularly the B&W conversions.
I'm also really impressed with the lack of flare.

And to make it even more impressive I will add that the front glass is large (lens diameter is 67mm and most of them are glass).
This kind of performance, in difficult conditions, more than the "absolute sharpness", is what justifies the investment you make in a lens.
With some lenses, you have to struggle and use precautions to obtain results of excellence. With lenses like this one, you really have to struggle very hard to make a trash shot!
