Just two hours from the Arctic Circle, temperatures get downright frigid in Luleå, the capital of Swedish Lapland. The last few years, however, have seen some of the warmest temperatures on record and heavy snow may become as rare as classic car sightings. Visit Luleå and take advantage of winter activities such as dogsledding, driving to islands over the frozen sea, dining in an ice igloo, and ice fishing—all under the shimmering Northern Lights.

    I remember gorwing up as a kid in NYC and how ferocious Winter used to be. Below zero temps were a norm and so was the snow. It is not the same anymore and I think the case for changes in climate is legitimate.

    This is a beautiful photo. I love the snow and the retro look of that truck. The snow creates this amazing silence that you don’t hear very often especially in cities.
