Oh what a ghastly winter I've had this year in Sweden.
Everything has been wrong with the weather.

No snow in time for the first of Advent (normally in Stockholm there is some by then).
No snow for the St Lucia festival on 13th December. This holiday is pointless without snow, might as well cancel it!
No snow for my birthday on 18th December.
No snow for Christmas!!!!
No snow for New Years...

Snow arrived mid January.
It was not cold really, minus 3 degrees or so. Only about 2 weeks of -15 in February.

The only month with some solid snow was February.

Currently there is NO snow apart from some dirty piles of black snow at parking lots etc

There have been reports of bears waking up early from their winter sleep. One person got attacked by a very grumpy bear who should have been sleeping. The person had not believed it even WAS a bear until the bear was practically about to kill him, because they always sleep until mid April. Fortunately he survived.

Imagine living in a country that has 3-4 hours of daylight for about 2 months, with NO SNOW! You practically become suicidal.
I won't spend any more winters here...

I am sure this must be global warming! What do you think?

What's the winter been like in the USA, Canada and Russia?
