I remember one Rallye Monte Carlo, where one friend from Madeira was with us. He was completely unprepared with cloths, for first time he saw the snow... ...and survire I can only recommend proper clothes - thermal underwear, winter shoes, winter trousers, winter coat, gloves, winter cap (you can buy an original one in Sweden too (http://rallysweden.com/wp-content/up...ch_staende.jpg).

And these things are really good to have, stops you from getting snow in your shoes, especially good to have this year together with wooly socks.

Pluto answered already and I can second what he said. Dressing in layers is important. Long, thermal underwear, maybe a t-shirt and winter jacket + trousers is enough for walking from car to the spectating point. Something extra to wear when spectating, a fleece or a hoodie, it can be hours standing still. Woolly hat is a must (actually the official one is very good!), for hands gloves topped with mittens do the job. Good and warm shoes are the most important part - and a scarf.
Spectating in winter is a lot about proper gear. It gets unpleasant if you get really cold. Digging a camp in the snow or diģging rally cars out of snow helps! At least food don't go bad in warmth, it may freeze however. Atmosphere on Rally Sweden stages is always superb. I'd suggest avoiding the biggest spectator areas and find your own spot in the forest, share it with a few other fans and enjoy the winter days outside. I'm sure you'll love it.Photos: rallirinki.kuvat.fi | Twitter: @HartusvuoriWRC

In my opinion you can overact with everything else, but not with the shoes. When spectating a winter rally, one thing you just must have are proper winter shoes and wool socks, otherwise you're doomed.

About clothes.. Just don't use any cotton stuff (especially socks or t-shirts). If it gets wet, it gets cold.
Pretty warm is merino woll. It keeps you warm even if it's wet. But expensive (=worth it).
Good shoes (Kamik i.e, or some goretex) to keep your feet dry and warm.
Cheers

Just out of curiosity, a question to Sweden-goers from more warm regions than the North: How much money you invest in proper winter clothing for the event or do you have all this ready in your closets?

I can vouch for this brand. Winter boots serves me ten years already. With two pair of socks (one them wool socks) and these boots I have survived even minus 28 degrees quite well. I prefer model with removable inner boot which one is recommended to take out in evening to dry before next rally day.
