[AT] way-WAY off topic Toyota vs. Toyoda???

Mattias,  the fact that it's been so cold there with so much snow makes me 
think you must have some natural geo thermal heat that comes up from the 
ground?    The ground everywhere is at least 50 degs F when you get down 
about 8 feet but much more in some regions.  Is Sweeden such a place that 
the ground is hot down below?  If it is, do people there use geo-thermal 
heating and cooling systems for their houses?

The ground is warm here to, luckily. I don't want to know how it would be
outside otherwise. It has fallen 2.70 meters of snow but it's only 80 cm
since it has melted from below and a whole lot the last weekend. The last
weekend was the first days above freezing since dec. 12. Since it has been
melting from underneath the small creek we have has been like in the spring
since Dec. 15th but with some ice.

We sure don't want this weather, you can keep it Ralph!
