Don't know about Karlstad, but in Sthlm we've got plenty of snow and -20. Shouldn't be less in Karlstad... :)

I dont know it have fallen allot of snow over the east coast so i think
there is more snow on the east coast then i Karlstad.

However current snow depths:

Branäs in Northern Värmland have 45cm,
Säfsen which is very close to the Fredriksberg Special Stage have 35cm
Sunne, 70km east of Hagfors have 50cm
Valfjället/Åmotfors 130km west of Hagfors have 45cm.
Hovfjället/Torsby 60m northg of Hagfors have 45cm.

Its a quite long drive (300km från Nyköping/Skavsta / 400km from Stockholm/Arlanda) to Hagfors (around 80km less to Karlstad).

As Viktory says the roads are usually well plowed but there is always a chance/risk that it will be snowing while (or maybe just a few hours prior) you drive and then the roads might not be plowed.

Also as Iskald points out without a car you are pretty much stranded
but i guess that it might be possible to rent a car in Karlstad if
you book in early in advance (time wise).

Thanks for the info lads, we booked a car for the drive back to Arlanda but we're going to get the train down from Skavsta when we land. Don't fancy driving in snow on the other side of the road at night :eek: It shouldn't be too bad on the way back at least it'll be daytime when we're driving.

Thanks again!

just booked the flight for sweden so I try to collect more and more knowledge about the stages
when was the last time when first day stages were in use (not in 2008 I see)
