A harsh winter??

Olle told me that he had read that the upcoming winter was going to be a harsh one.

I found a couple of articles that backed him up. First was an accuweather forecast that said cold air would "build over Scandinavia" this winter.

The Local also repeats the accuweather news, with additions of their own.

They point out, however, that such long-range forecasts can be inaccurate.  Last year's forecast was also for a cold winter. In the end, it was one of the warmest ever recorded in Europe!
