2016 had warm conditions, some stages cancelled
2017 had little snow but much ice
2018 had an excess of snow
2019 had plenty of snow but quite warm slushy conditions
It's a bit different every year. We remember some Rally Swedens with very little snow such as 2000 and 1997
As for winters in Finland, this is the warmest and least-snowy I've ever seen. In fact, my grandpa said 1924 was the previous one with this little snow...

It has been on/off for decades now. I remember seeing highlights from late 80s and even back then there was some races with really little snow. Then in the 90s there was some good races with lots of snow and some horrible with just enough to run. In the 2000s, feel like the winter conditions been more stable but generally not very cold. Even if you consider that they have partly moved the rally closer to Norway and northern parts of Sweden it is bad to still get this weather.

So long as no one needs to go to hospital they'll be fine

Wet conditions. Portuguese Autosport brought something to the table... the WRC2 crews are using a WRC spec tyre that is harder than the spec Meeke and other CPR runners are using.
