SNOWHOW Notes

– THE NORDIC WINTER

Experience the beauty and brutality of the Nordic winter and its
impact on the lives of people and animals – and how it shapes
the landscape around us. The forces of nature challenge us
and force us to find creative solutions. With knowledge –
SNOWHOW – built up over generations, we make our way – in
four parts – through the relentless Nordic winter.

Episode 1: Winter is Coming
It is early in the season. Problems and possibilities are posed by the transition from snow-free autumn to the
cold, ice and darkness that is on its way. We introduce the historical chronology of the journey from the ice
ages to the present day, which will continue through the following episodes.
Episode 2: The Power of Crystals
The Nordic winter is upon us and around us, but what is it made of? We experience the mighty powers it
holds.
Episode 3: Experiencing Winter
The Nordic winter poses practical challenges that we are compelled to solve. We have made it to late winter
and put a greater emphasis on what winter feels like and how those who live with it experience it.
Episode 4: When Winter Disappears
The transition from winter to spring. We explore both the present and the future. We examine if winter in the
Nordic region is in the process of disappearing due to climate change.
