Goog luck, remember that snow is harder to eyes than sand when there is clear days, also wear several thin layers of clothing instead of one heavy, you will freeze only if surface layer gets wet.
Cover your neck, very important as if you don't, you will get cold ;)

Lund is so South that there is not really cold and there is not really lot of snow usually, if you travel to north part of Sweden, there are more snow and cold, specially if you pick route that leads to Norway trough Finland, then you will see whole different world within same country ;)

Sounds like a pretty awsome oppertunity mate.

Nice challenging driving, beautiful scenery everywhere you look and not to mention (puts on terrible, terrible swedish accent) the preety preety gerlies.

Enjoy dude.

Have a fondu for me.
