Well it will be very interesting to see what happens sunday evening/monday with forecasts now just around zero...
either tons of rain or tons of snow...one or two degrees can make a big difference.
Seems that organisers could be very lucky, monday after the rally shows +11 degrees.
yeah but the question is, how long they and FIA will continue to gamble with their luck?
every year basically the same story and them being very lucky with some kind of winter conditions just arriving for the rally time.
Where? The Scandinavian models show between -2 and +2 with snow.
Btw. average temperaturen this january has been 10 degrees! above normal.
Anyway there is a trend and to organizers a rally there needs to be some predict le conditions so if rally Sweden should stay a snow rally in the future it needs to react.
I keep looking at these forecasts every day

Likenäs has some sub -10 temps forecasted for Thursday-Saturday and Finnskogen area may have some snow instead of the rain on Sunday. Torsby doesn't look good, but I guess they can just run the short stage in any conditions. It's also run after two long stages, so the drivers will have worn most of their studs by that stage.
If Karlstad is the only place in Sweden that has the funding for the rally, then the WRC snow event has to go elsewhere. Somewhere were it's virtually guaranteed snow.
