That water on the roads dissapears in hours when temperature drops below 0, it is expected to happen on Wednesday. Some light snow is also axpected for most locations after the temperature drops below zero. So, It will be very difficult for drivers because there will be frozen gravel on open sections, ice and snow in the forrest.

Kirkenjaer stage is one ugly place, it is almost like lake, it is in depression and all water flows into this place after melting. This and Karlstad SSS are in danger I belive, but both stages are relatively pointless short sprints totalling a bit over 15km of rally.

So, it will be proper challange for drivers and very fast rally (more cutting) and no room for mistakes.
No way they let the cars out on recce if the road surface isn't frozen.
