Yes, I do know what you mean, Mattias. I understand the politics, and I 
understand the weather.

The skin of hardened snow is called "crust". It can be formed either by 
temperature changes (thaw-freeze), by wind, or a combination. I used to have 
fun with it when I was a kid because crusted snow drifts made it so easy to 
make snow caves to play in.

I don't pretend to know or understand everything about the differences in 
climate between Scandanavia-Northern Europe and the continental US, but I 
have had a close personal concern about it if for no other reason than that 
my son has been living in Poland for the last 19 years. We have visited with 
him and traveled throughout the country on extended road trips, so the 
differences in weather patterns between there and here, and finding the 
differences in farming practices and road regulations have come about from 
natural curiosity. Without even considering other differences, the fact that 
northern Europe is about the same latitude as Hudson's Bay helps to put it 
all in perspective.
