What’s the deal if most of the snow is lost? Will it still run?
I remember it got pretty bad (10 years - I think) ago, but can’t remember if they cancelled any or all of it.

We mostly need thick ice and not deteriorating roads, not snow, although there should be enough of it no to go away entirely.

That is why its good to have plus degrees and a bit rain/wet snow, followed then by sufficient minus degrees.

Well lots of snow looks nice and provides great snow banks. However snow itself is quite loose and won't provide much grip or solid base layer. Ice is achieved by lots of snow that is compress by vehicles (temps around 0 required( and then freezing. Repeat that (cold weather and new snow then warmer weather for a few days followed by longer periods of colder weather) a few times and you will get very good conditions. However if it is too warm or just cold with powder snow the road conditions won't be good.
...Funny how ev'rything was roses when we held on to the guns...

If weather really hits as picture shows above, I'm pretty sure rally will be cancelled.

Tauri_J, it has been mentioned on the last few pages, that you shouldn`t look at Karlstad, as it is the place where the SSS takes place. Rally is quite a lot further north.
