This is the WORST snow storm we've ever experienced at the cabin! Winds reached hurricane strength on the first day, and the storm roared outside our cabin for almost an entire week. I hope you enjoy this video of what life is like on Svalbard during a strong blizzard. Thank you so much for watching! 🧡☕️

I laughed out loud when you said "Imagine being like 70 years old." 70 will be here before you know it. Lightning fast. This is a note to the future you. Hello 70 year old Cecilia. My name is Sherrie. I am gone away to a better place now. I once enjoyed your channel when I was a grandma. Thank you. I hope you had a good life and I will meet you in Heaven. 💟💟💟🙂
Sundays wouldn’t be the same without a video from Cecilia.
😍🙏
@@CeciliaBlomdahl what kind of snow equipment does the city use to clear all that snow? and where to they dump the snow once they move it from the town streets?
Glad you guys & your cabin survived this big storm ❄❄❄🌊
Grim hamming it up for the camera again. love Grim such a happy happy happy dog!! 🐾🦴
Kara & Nate were there for a visit with Cecilia and Kristoffer. Go to their channel watch.
Definitely
Agree 1000%
Polar night isn’t officially over until Cecilia announces it 😀
lol its a sophisticated version of their groundhog's day!
🤣😉👍
That's right!!
"there is no bad weather, just bad clothing" my aunt lives in Norway and when I have visited her, she always used the phrase! I love these long, cozy vlogs ✨❄ thank you for sharing a glimpse of your life with us 🥰
Always been my mantra!
The same in Denmark and Greenland.
Same for Germany!
As someone who lives is a hot country there is defiantly bad weather lol. But I would love to live somewhere up north with a proper snowy winter ❄️

This is not just another channel ....This is a cultural documentary that makes me appreciate our planet and I will support this channel till I'm an old woman. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I love how you are always telling Grim how beautiful he looks. I have a huge German shepherd and I tell him how 'bootiful' he is at least 20 times a day. LOL.
Hahah ❤️❤️😃😃
I like to tell my boys their adoption stories. 😊
I tell my pitty just how handsome he is many times a day. I tell him look at “Mommy’s handsome boy”. 😂 I swear he smiles. 🥴
Recently found your videos, really enjoying them 😃. Thinking of your lovely dog, is likely a silly question but had wondered if v extreme cold, if it would effect his paw pads, or is it just something that he’s used to x
Christoffer is such a trooper for trekking out in that storm. What a hero! That clip of him holding Grims hand just had my heart 😍 I feel so lucky whenever an animal lets me do that. I'd be interested to hear more about Ekaterina too. I always notice your beautiful nails so it's fun to see the person behind them. Maybe she'd be in to being a part of your "meet the locals" series? Thanks for another great video!
Yes, please: more on Ekaterina! We can turn on the English subtitles to make it easy. 💖💖💖
As a viewer from Ukraine it was a pleasant surprise to see ukrainian in your blog. Thank you for sharing her story.
I was sitting in front of the TV wondering when this was coming up! Love to see such a different part of the world. Thank you so much for sharing your days with us!
Thank you so much for watching! 😍
OMG, that was some scary hurricane wind. Loved the video. Look forward to next Sundays video.
“I couldn’t see shit out there” 😂 that was the calmest, most eloquent curse ever! I love it!
I love how much you love the beauty of where you live. Your enthusiasm and joy is so genuine and palpable it really has an impact on your viewers in the most magical way! You are so inspirational, Cecilia and a bright light in this world. 🌞✨☀️ All through polar night and in this dark world you are the light!
Love from the USA!
I agree! Her channel popped up on my feed beginning of winter. I deliberately subscribed to catch on to her enthusiasm for winter and the long dark days. Gotta say that she has helped me. I have slowed down, and have gained an appreciation for many wintery things.
Thank you for showing us your part of the world. You know before October of 2022 I’d never heard of where you live. I’m so happy that we have you, Christoffer, & Grim to let us explore with you. I’ve learned a great deal since I started following your channel. Have a wonderful week.
❤❤🐾❤️
I'm so happy you enjoy my channel! 😍🙏
@@CeciliaBlomdahl I love your channel! But, can't you build a small shed for your snowmobiles?
@@cmd406 I was thinking that exact thing!! 😊
@@cmd406 Yeah, I was wondering about that too..or put them somewhere where their more protected
Cecelia, I cannot thank you enough for continuing to post your life on UA-cam! Your videos bring a sence of calm into my day. I have anxiety 24/7, but when I watch your videos, all I feel is happiness and relief. Thank you ❤
It tickles me that Svalbard is super remote and extreme and man vs nature and all of that but you better believe you can still get your nails done. 😍
Hahah 🙌
There's no better feeling than lounging in your jammies all day with hot chocolate, a comfy sofa, and a good blanket when there is crazy winter weather outside, especially when you have a sweet, fluffy pup to cuddle ❤ Poor Grim, though, with his stress from being cooped up when it got too bad 🤗 I was overjoyed when I found out that Kara and Nate were going to Svalbard and visiting you, as I have suggested this collaboration to them before. Watching you and Christoffer and Grim together with them was happiness overload!!!
it's fantastic news!
During a bad storms I use to like watch old movies with hot cocoa with burnt marshmallows in my cocoa..
Your positive attitude is so inspiring! I love the way you love life! Thank you for reminding us that no matter our surroundings we get to chose how we feel!
that is absolutely true...mostly! ;-) I have Seasonal Affective Disorder and I get VERY low energy and mood when it gets darker in the Winter. I live in Northwestern NY State, across Lake Ontario from Toronto. I need some medication and a full spectrum "Happy Light" to get through the darkest part of the year! As do so many people I know. I wish I could just "chose" to be happy because if I could I certainly would! I tend to be a pretty darn optimistic person and feel very different when the temperatures warm and we get more light. Oh, that's another thing about where I live, even when the weather is warm, we have "heavy cloudy" days more than 50% of the year. That has an effect as well. But, today it's warmer than it has been and supposed to be in the 60's on Wednesday! (before the temps get colder again) but I'm excited and looking forward to that!
Even Grim doesn’t want to out in that crazy storm! I was so happy to see you on Kara & Nate’s channel. I hope the exposure is very beneficial to you. I would love to be in your cabin while that snow storm is raging - Grim for snuggles, Chrisoffer for cooking and you to laugh with.
me too!
Just loved watching Kara and Nate visiting you - it was sooooo funny. The ‘peas de resistance’ part was hilarious and Christoffer’s meal looked scrumptious.
“ It’s very cozy/ow! “ In the same sentence says it all lol
Christtofer saying I couldn't see shit out there 😂 love his calm energy.
Your cabin looks so cosy and warm, even when there is a raging storm going on outside. I'm in the UK and have definitely noticed a positive change with sunrise/sunset over the last few weeks (obviously not as extreme as yours) At this time (15:50) a few weeks ago I would have been putting my lights on... now, it's still daylight.
in Sunderland we have sunsets as early as 15:30 in December. Now its 12 Febraury and sunset is already after 5pm which extends the day quite a bit
My washing nearly dries outside again! As soon can tell I'm a very exciting person 😂
we've been treated to some gorgeous sunsets recently in the UK 👍
The blue twilight zone :))) I love your outdoor images. Grim is SO ADORABLE ♥Stay safe !
Thank you! 😊
Watching this from a hot bath makes it even more enjoyable 🛁
I am very grateful that you have Christopher. Truly, a real man.
Grim is so cute! Have a great storm-free weekend ♥♥
So glad Kara and Nate led us to you! Subscribed and enthralled!
Thaaank you and welcomee!
That’s how I found you too! I love snow and love where you live. It’s fascinating.
I love being invited into your world every week or so. You're so full of life and easy to listen to.
All I can say is hats off to the builder for not skipping the tie downs.
I was shocked to see Kara and Nate visiting with you and Christopher..I love it! They are such a fun couple. It is such a cool place. I love your videos. Hug Grim for me
I loooove them! Amazing people 😍
i know right😍? the minute Kara mentioned Svalbard i instantly was hyped😍
I am happy I watched Kara and Nate's episode when that visited. It led me to your channel. I am enjoying learning about your and Christopher's life and town. I love Grim.
How amazing is nature! Poor Grim! He so wanted to go outside, but I can understand why he didn’t want to deal with that crazy wind. Thank you for sharing another great video! Goodbye polar nights ❤.
Whenever I am needing to feel comfort I watch Cecilias videos, I love the cozy snowstorms with you, Christoffer and Grimm it gives me so much peace
That was intense and scary, appears the cabin held sturdy with the crazy winds, crazy watching Christoffer out there with the snow mobiles and interesting how you need to be cognizant of the wind direction to move the snow mobiles. I'm sure Grim was very glad when the storm ended! And wow, guess Kara and Nate just missed the storm! Their video was so fun with you all together!
I’m watching this after coming back from surfing here in Hawaii, it was a little cloudy and a lot windy so I thought it was FREEZING ❄️😂 Thank you Cecilia for providing me with a more realistic perspective! I love watching how much you thrive in weather that would kill me 😆💙
Grim got so close to the camera when giving us all a kiss, that I could smell his breath! Hu, hu, hu, hu, right back at you Grim.
Hahha right in the lens there 🤣🧡
Cecilia, I journal daily and read years past entries but your video's wow! You'll be able to view your past year's 😊
Put that on your 80th birthday bucket list to do🙃
I have to admit that, yes, I am sad that polar night is over. My favorite times have definitely been the 24 hour, dark winter days . Living during these months through your videos has given me great comfort. Thanks to you, Christopher, and of course, Grimm.
Holy blowy!!!! About 6 was ago here in far Northern Minnesota, USA...we had ourselves a huge snowstorm with 40mph sustained winds for almost 3 days. At the peak of the storm, we had 6 hours with gusts up to 74 mph at the Lake Superior harbor....removing roofs from local buildings. Hold on to your hat!!!! And poor Grim, like our Indy dog....fastest pee we've ever seen.
We had fun watching you with Kara and Nate....2 of our favorite channels wrapped in one. !!!!
Notice that in their powerful storm, nothing was damaged. I lived in Norway for years, and experienced several winter hurricanes. No boarding of windows and such; because homes and buildings are built to withstand them. Very much unlike the U.S.
I think Grim is the one enjoying your nails the most, total bliss from head scratches 🙂
Good that you built a stable cabin, it passed the test.
All of Norway is built to withstand the powerful storms they get. I experienced several winter hurricanes there, no problems.
southern US: a dusting of snow - everything closes
Svalbard: hurricane force snow - go to work, meet friends for lunch
This place is so beautiful... One of the most beautiful and peaceful places I have visited. So relaxing... I miss it!! Thanks for you all's beautiful channel.💛😊💯💯💯💯👍
After hearing the audio on your Kara and Nate collab, and then hearing you speak in the middle of the storm, your microphone must be incredible!!! Your audio is so good!
I lived in Florida, US, and went through several Hurricanes, including Andrew with 40+ m/sec winds. Christoffer is an amazing superhero for standing up to those winds - sorry you lost the windshields, but glad everyone is safe.
The huge difference between Florida and Norway, is that Norway builds everything to withstand the powerful storms they get. During my years there, I experienced several winter hurricanes. No boarding up etc., no problems.
Cecilia, I panic when choosing my nail color too 😂 glad to know I’m not alone!
that footage of you petting grimm is pure serotonin lol
I just love extreme weather! It looks like the blizzard we had here a few weeks ago. Thank you for this vid, Cecilia - stay warm! Love from Buffalo, New York ♥️
I also watch Kara&Nate - it's unbelievable to see you all together - it's like 2 YT channels merged in 1!
the same with Trent & Allie meeting up with other fab youtubers.
I am afraid of the windows
They look so thin weak
Your channel is amazing
Not only taught me so much but most importantly taught me that you can live dress great modern while living in an isolated place
You know the weather is abysmal when even Grim doesn't want to be out in it. I wonder if a sound machine would help calm him. I have one I turn on when I sleep to help block out noisy neighbors and traffic noise. It has rain sounds and running creek, etc. but the best one for blocking out sounds is just the white noise. It's very calming. Maybe it would make Grim less scared of the wind.
So glad to see you guys and Kara and Nate together. Hope they come back during the summer so they can see and do more. Thanks again for another great video. Have a great week
It was fun to see Kara and Nate's visit with you. I was hoping you'd include their visit from your perspective.
Grim is all cozy in his little bed 🥰 also your home feel sooo cozy its relaxing even just looking at it ✨️
I love that you are civil to each other during twilight!
I rarely comment. And I always watch your videos Cecilia. a happy pill for me! It is so awesome seeing Kara and Nate hanging out with you
wow the wind from the snowstorm was the most amazing and intense sound i’ve ever heard! thank you!! 🌨️🌨️
It looks so beautiful, cozy and magical!
❄️ ❄️❄️
I keep thinking of me at 95 watching my old videos LOL. But i'm still going to be vlogging at 95 too 😆👍 I plan on never stopping 💜
I found your channel through Kara and Nate. Now I’m hooked. I love seeing how people adapt to extreme situations and you, your dog and your cabin are just so charming. I can’t wait to see more!
You just found her channel!? What!❤
I love listening to you speak Norwegian to Chris and your friends! I love snow too! I would love to move there!
You've got a massive storm raging, and all I'm thinking about is that Grim is utterly adorable! 🐶
It’s so fascinating to see you in such a weather and enjoying it too. I live in Canada and often complain about the winters here. Well now I can’t…😆
You definitely have the best UA-cam channel EVER! 💖 Love the light as Svalbard comes out of Polar Night. 💕
Loved seeing you spend time with Kara and Nate. No surprise you all got along great! How far is the water from your cabin? Do waves ever get close to the cabin in bad weather?
Florida here! What a difference between your hurricane and ours! Everything closes here. Windows covered with shutters. Rain, rain, and more rain. Today here in Florida we are having an extra windy day so I felt I was there in Svalbard.
Amen to that, and rather sad. During my years in Norway, I experienced several winter hurricanes. No prepping, no problems. All structures there are built to withstand the powerful storms they get. No excuses for Florida at all.
So cozy with the fire and a cup of coffee or tea. And a raging snow storm outside. ❄️❄️
This was one of my favorite videos, Cecilia!! I LOVE a good storm- though, I want everyone, including Grim, to stay safe!!❤❤❤
You open the door so often my dad would be yelling "YOU'RE LETTING ALL THE HEAT OUT! WERE YOU BORN IN A BARN??" He says the same thing when you stand looking in the fridge... I am 38 now and I still get asked if I was born in a barn! Dad's are funny
I love snow storms !!! ❤❤❤
Your photography is stunning and so is Svalbard. Thank you for your beautiful channel and for sharing your life with us.
So glad you all made it through ! My fur babies don’t like storms of any sort so I totally get Grim’s reaction - big hugs and I love your channel!
Love the bromance Grim and Christopher have going on. ❤
Every Sunday night I get ready for bed, snuggle in for the night then watch you. You amaze me! Even Grim didn’t want to go out but a girls got to get her nails done! 🤣🤣. I’m in the southern part of Texas in the America and I can’t imagine living there with the weather. Thank you for sharing your life with us!!!
The last time I watched this channel, was Sunday morning on August 7th 22. My mom passed away, in my home, as the latest video started to play. I introduced her to this channel. She enjoyed watching it with me. I just haven't had the heart to check out any more videos from this channel. Until today. Even though I sit here balling my eyes out, I'm glad to be back. Going to binge watch the episodes I've missed!❤️ Was really missing Svalbard!❤️ Thanks for bringing it to us!🤍💙
Been watching that storm approaching you, glad it’s over. Glory to Ukraine.🇺🇦
I subscribed after seeing you on Kara and Nate’s channel.
What a great channel you have here. 💙
Thank you so much! 😍
Ditto 😊 You are a breath of fresh air 🤗
at 11:58 - this is how Minnesota is in winter. You just kind of stand like a popsicle and hope the wind stops soon. You made me laugh.
The crunching sound brings back memories.
I must say, you guys never looked *weather-beaten* being in this type of environment 24/7, one would think your whole self be one dry chapped person. I'm addicted to your videos. 🙂
Hahah! It's all about hair oil, nose oil, face oil 🤣 Stay hydrated 🙏
@@CeciliaBlomdahl It's working. 🙂
I love the fact that you go out in this weather in your pjs like it’s perfectly normal 😂
I just love your energy and positivity. Despite the freezing cold skin piercing wind 🥶 🥶🥶
I live in the North of France and the other day we had what you've called "Pink hour"! I was so excited I told my daughter (6)! It was beautiful... and since then it's been daylight at breakfast before school which is at around 7:45... So our "Polar night" is over as well! 😂😂😂
I went to Montmorency Falls yesterday (a huge waterfall near Québec City) because most people go there in summer and i wanted to show what it looks like in winter. It was impressive and we were getting sprayed even dozens of meters away. My notes written in ink got completely soaked LOL. (it is 100 feet higher than Niagara Falls). On the way back, my friend was driving through the streets of the old neighborhood there and the houses are not built parallel to the streets, but at an angle, because of the Noreaster winds from the St Lawrence River.
Detachable windshields would be a great idea. You could remove them in bad bad weather and reattach them when the weather improved xxx😊😊😊
FINALLY!! I’ve been dying to know how your nails always look so gorgeous. You have naturally beautiful nail beds though, so that’s a blessing!
Cecilia, we both have experienced the highest winds we’ve seen…you at around 75 MPH and me down here in Southwest Florida…150 MPH in Hurricane Ian !!…stay warm…LOVE your channel…not the cold !!
Huge difference though, between Florida and Norway. I lived in Florida for eight years, and many in Norway. All structures there are built to withstand the powerful storms they get. Even the windows are amazing. I saw them literally bow in and out, not even a crack in any of them. During my several winter hurricanes, no prepping, boarding up etc. "Live and learn" can't apply to Florida, because they never do.
Hello from Nevada. I just saw your short of GRIM and decided to check out more of your channel. Wow, what a wonderful experience. I used to live in the northeast USA, now i live in the southwest. No snow in winter, though we miraculously had snow flakes just this week, but it was llike lint...it fell and disappeared before hitting the ground! Now WIND is something i'm familar with. I cannot wait to explore your life. It is so cool and i don't mean temperature-wise...what an amazing life you have...
"It's very cozy!" She says before a fresh gust of snowy wind physically hurts her face :"D
I admire your eternal positive attitude! You are an inspiration n helped me change my whole attitude about winter n bad weather; me and my dog Odin thank you :)
Part of my Sunday morning routine is to enjoy your latest post. You are so hearty! Keep up the good work. Give Grim some scratches for us.
You're the best! 😊
Wind scares me more than any other weather... we live in a rainforest on a gulf island, and everytime we have wind like that there's tons of trees that come down. And the trees here are REALLY TALL. One storm we had four tall skinny trees fall on our car! So far just branches on our house... Thankfully we have mostly maple trees around our place that are more sturdy in wind, but most of the rest of the island has massively tall big evergreens. So many power outages... I grew up in Alberta and the wind was crazy on the prairies, and the drifting snow was intense!
I'm happy Christoffer got inside safe.
Love this! Thank you Cecilia
Such crazy wind! Thanks for sharing as always 🫶
Hugs from London Ontario Canada...love your videos! I was a Northern girl in Ontario...but you give winter a new meaning!❤❤
I'm glad you all survived! Thank you for the beautiful video! ❤️☃️❄️
Great video as always!!!
Great start to a Sunday morning. Thanks
Grim is just so damn cute in this video 😍 couldn't handle it 😄🐕
Love this! We get those storms too! They can be exciting. ❄️🙌🏻🙋♀️
I have always made those "oyoyoy" noises like she does at 3:26 and now with Cecilia's encouragement I do it with no self consciousness
Love what your done to your place !!
Funny to see doggy loves to go out in an arctic blizzard, my doggos won't leave the porch if it's sprinkling a little rain.
