And the image was posted.. before it was actually taken?

Reminds me of 2004, when 3 days before the rally it was all covered in snow but then this happened....and Loeb won....

Thanks for all the help regarding staying warm-ish on pages 19/20, much appreciated!

If it stays at +5 staying warm will be no problem, you will probably be too hot walking into the stages most of the time ;)
Looks like it might be like it was in 2014

Weather will not be optimal, but no fear of cancellation?

I really doubt that they will cancel the entire rally. Possibly they might not allow the historic cars in some stages or just run the first loop one some stages. It's a bit too early to say though.

Everybody needs to calm down, during the nights the forecast says -2 to -6 or even colder, and with rain now there will be a ok ice-base.
Only thing that is sad and a bit worrying is the lack of snowbanks and/or thin icelayer for 2nd runs🥺

Many of the spectators won't even remember there was a 2nd loop the day after, so no issue for them. :)

Good point!

Every year same damn shit. A week before or after the rally the conditions are perfect but at rally weekend it turns to mess.

2014 lesjeförs was full gravel, but they still drove it twice. Hope they can run whole rally this year!
