The road would deteriorate then also.

Presumably the FIA must have had conversations with the Swedish organisers due to close calls that have come before, and with the weather changes that are happening globally (for whatever reason you believe to be right) it seems clear that for an event such as this we need to move further North.
I think everyone wants to keep a genuine winter rally, but the need for a location with more predictable weather seems to be needed.

Best bet to keep rally in Sweden might be Ostersund - Are - Trondheim area. That would have good synergies with Alpine skiing, big cities, good connections and everything. Possibility to split stages between Sweden and Norway like currently.
If not in Sweden, other potential options with rally culture could be Hokkaido or Canada. For sure Toyota and Subaru would like to see even two rallies in Japan. More extreme market choices could be Vladivostok area in Pacific Russia or even Northern China.

Vännäs yes. However if you look at the snow depth maps very little snow in Umeå. Granö which is 50 km noth-northwest of Vännäs (which is 30 km west of Umeå) only have 38 cm and Vännäs have 24.
So it's not huge amounts of snow there either. It's quite dire along the entire Norrland coastline....Funny how ev'rything was roses when we held on to the guns...
