Now that is the visual definition of winter. I like the name Sven. It was the name of the mechanic who worked on my 1986 Saab when I lived in the States.
Normally we don't name storms here, we use the name given to them by the Norwegians! But starting this year it seems they are given a Swedish name. Typically it will be the name day.

Storm update. We are still waiting for it to hit Stockholm.
Must be quite a sight to look out of your window to see snow silently falling, but I'm guessing not so good when Sven arrives in full force :)
ReplyDeleteLooks nice, but also cold...
ReplyDeleteKeep warm and enjoy it!:)
Looks really nice Steffe. Is the hot chocolate ready?
ReplyDeleteWe might get some freezing rain and snow by Friday.i am not looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteIt must be a big storm if it has a name!
ReplyDeleteNaming hurricanes and typhoons is typical, but I have never heard of a snow storm having a name.
