This is my 4th winter in Sweden, but the first “real” one since I moved from Nynäshamn to Umeå and I made this to show how to be Swedish in winter. Is it accurate?

1. Nailed it.
   An addition to that is “avoid human interaction even more.”

2. Skriver under på allt utom vinterdäck på cykeln.

3. Many of the things are associated with Jul and not winter as a whole, but still great work!

4. Looks really nice! I really don’t miss Umeå. Not because Umeå is shit. Mostly because in the summer it’s never dark and during the winter you get like 1h of sunlight.

5. You forgot about sladda med PVn och lyssna på Sator.

6. Maybe switch “Learn about St Lucy” to “Celebrate”. But accurate overall.

7. 👏👏👏

8. I want to buy one!

9. I would pay money for one of these yeah… muchly nicely donely!

10. The people at designtorget would go nuts for this

11. You’ve gotten more about Swedish culture right in 4 years, than some people have in their entire existence here. Nice job OP!

12. Well done!

13. It looks really nice! But I would remove the Christmas themed things, the winter is so much longer than the Christmas.

14. That’s an excellent summary. Usually they have a lot of far fetched stuff but this is spot on.

    Everyone should use winter tires but not that many do, it’s more a tip you give to people who haven’t been biking on snow for their entire lives. Or for example my dad who’s getting up there in age, he got it as a present.

15. Saknar Skogaholmslimpa och varm choklad. Vört är mer till julbord.

    It’s more of a Christmas tote than winter but it’s very cute.

    Winter is red runny noses, vab-ruari, semlor, tea candles, wet mittens, nobody prepared for first big snowstorm, ice skates, björnfittemössor.

16. Cute thing

17. I would replace vörtbröd with pepparkakor but not bad

18. 100% – amazing!

19. I’m feeling the “embracing the winter depression”

20. Not in förorterna

21. That is really pretty!

22. “Avoid the slask at all costs!”

23. Accurate!

24. Söt

25. A lot of coffee would be a year round tradition, but in winter it is additional hot chocolate IMO

    Don’t forget to bring your reflexer och broddar when going out.

    Looks really nice

26. På vintern åker jag mest bob (snowracer).

27. Make your home mysigt lmao 10/10

28. very very true

29. Love it!

30. This is the way.

31. Very najs! Don’t show this to aftonbladet ledare though.

32. I’ve never touched a vitamin-D pill in my life, but everything else is accurate.
