Sweden continues to feel the grip of winter as meteorologist Lasse Rydqvist informs of an impending extensive snowstorm heading towards southern Sweden. With winter weather set to last through February and possibly into March, residents are advised to prepare for continued cold conditions. Current high-pressure systems over the Baltic region are influencing weather patterns in Sweden, but as these systems move east, a low-pressure area is anticipated to bring further snowfall.

Rydqvist notes that the country will experience stable and cold weather until later this week, setting the stage for a winter sports holiday that promises not only cold temperatures but also fresh snow. The potential for several decimeters of new snow, particularly over the regions of Götaland and Svealand, indicates that winter sports enthusiasts may be in for a treat. This persistent cold spells hints at a challenging winter ahead, especially for areas likely to receive significant snowfall.

The report highlights that some regions, like Älvdalen, are experiencing their coldest mornings since 2012, underscoring the severity of current conditions and raising concerns for residents regarding safety and travel. Weather patterns suggest that residents should stay informed and prepared for harsh winter conditions.
