Where I live it's the cloudiest weather in at least 70 years (I live in a very cloudy place). The sun is very rare. This has been going on for a year and a half. It came just after the hottest year in the region's history.
Boxcar we have plus like one week, over whole sweden, last time I think was in 1992 or 1993 when plus degrees was at januari, snowmobile season in ruined due bad ice. I would be happy to in minus 45.
