    2018 had excess of snow. Small snow banks in 2017, lack of snow in 2016. "Normal" snow banks in 2019?

    Some stages had good coverage of snow, but there wasn't much. A couple stages got canceled. I remember walking to watch the Torsby stage and I was walking in mud and gravel. Not very winter-ish.

    Crucial is below zero with several degrees during nights.
    If dry winds daytime or no wind at all, it can be +2-3 degrees without melting.
    With moisture and plusdegrees surface can change rapidly from frozen to mud.
    However below zero most of night before rally will make it run, even maybe with shortened stages/runs.

    No canceled stages in 2019. It was warm and slushy though.

    Apparently I remember it to be worse than it was, looking at photos. In the heights, it was plenty of snow and the road kept well.
    Lower stages was OK but the roads got quite muddy.

    Right, I've been there so many years that I mix them up! Warm and slushy it was for sure.
    Looked it up and stages got canceled indeed, but that was only for historic, and not for WRC
