  6. Been there for a Fjallraven trekking event couple of months ago. Lovely weather.
    ps. Never have thought it would be that cold in the winter.

  16. It's nowhere near that cold in Denmark but more than 100 cars were trapped for 20 hours by the snow in Jutland. Lorries standing across the road made things difficult, the authorities are looking into why it took so long.
    Compared to what people do to each other elsewhere in the World this is nothing.

  19. For all the non-swedes. The sign on the bus in the dirch in the first clip says "happy new year"

  20. Swedes have lost their mind. There was an ambulance which was stuck but people weren't allowed to help the ambulance to get unstuck so the patient inside the ambulance had to wait 7 hours stuck there.

  25. I live in northern Canada. In winter I keep a warm sleeping bag in my car just in case.

    I had a friend who's car broke down while driving from Dawson City to Whitehorse in the Yukon Territory. He took his back seat out a burnt it just to keep from freezing.

  27. In southern Russia (Rostov on Don) we have + 6 today, tomorrow they promise – 3, more or less ok. But in Siberia it is cold – 15 today, but for them it is ok, they got used to frosts ))

  29. Am living on the other side of the world (Southern Africa) In my whole life i have never experienced a snow surprisingly am almost 40. Watching these extreme weather conditions in Sweden it like fiction to me. Nevertheless this shows the greatness of God in creating these contrasting extremities

  31. It s not only Sweden. Norway Finland as well. But i guess Sweden is more popular then the other scandinavic countries 😂

  36. How cold is it. One time they play football in green bay .10 degrees and wind pick up. That's cold enough..🙃🤧🥺🥴🧐😰🥶
