    I was just thinking how lovely it is that is such a cold place, she has such a warm, loving little family. Seeing the way Kristopher was with Grimm on the couch, or how he went straight into her arms when they were outside, was just heart melting.

    Honestly, seeing Grim on the sofa, on his back with his paws in the air, getting his belly scratched by Christoffer might be THE CUTEST THING I have EVER seen! And then when Grim sneezed on everyone, I laughed almost as hard as I did after Grim peed on your Christmas tree! Awesome!!! ❤️❤️❤️

    Seeing you go to the gym even in such weather convinced me to leave the couch and go to the uni library to study. I had excuses ready for staying at home (which practically means that i would waste my time).
    you enjoying the view with such enthusiasm is a very precious thing to watch.

    Hello Cecilia. I think this is my first time commenting but I've been watching your videos for the past 3-4 months now. I really love how comforting your videos are. Watching one of your videos before going to sleep have been my routine. It just makes me feel comfortable, relax, and surreal. Thank you for showing these beautiful wonders to us. One day, I hope to see those northern lights in person but for now I'll settle seeing it through you. Thank you and happy 200k! 🍻

    Thank you so much for showing a bit more of the struggles, like how your ice scraper broke and you couldn't see. You make life in the Arctic seem so easy but it's just refreshing to see moments where it is challenging. And I love seeing other moments where Grimm is just laying on his back with his legs open and cuddling with Christopher. What a lovely snapshot of your life!

    Hi, Here's an effective solution for your frozen windshield: Prestone AS247 Trigger Spray Windshield De-Icer, 32 oz, Let the car warm up for a few minutes, use your defroster to warm the windshield, turn on your headlights to warm that glass, Spray all the glass & the wiper blades (without trying to lift the blades from the window-they might tear). Wait a few seconds & that ice will basically wipe off. I have been in frigiid climates too. I wish I had known about this Pestone! P.S. That bottle will last for years, even in Svalbard. Thanks for the great content, & Merry Xmas.

I chuckled when you said it was 0 degrees Celsius, "I'll just take my summer gloves." Here in the desert when it's 100 F or 38 C we are the same, no problem it almost feels balmy!

    Wow! Cecilia, those are heavy duty exercises for building muscle bulk. Ballet and Pilates focus on core, inner thigh muscle strength to avoid bulk, and created an elongated look. But you are tall, so probably not as conducive to bulk. Such amazing discipline to go out in that storm for a gym workout. Good for you! Congratulations on passing the 200K mark. You deserve it. Your videos are excellent, interesting, novel, inspiring, beautiful, magical, and north-pole warm.

    The best investment you could make is to purchase a remote car starter for your truck. Turn on the heater full blast to defrost when you park it for the night. Then when you start the truck remotely it will defrost the windshield for you and save you a whole bunch of scrapping. That'll certainly help with some of the struggles.

    I live in Hawaii but I love watching your videos because it's the opposite of my lifestyle. God has blessed us all with our own particular ideas of happiness which is contained in our spirits.

    Lovely video as always. Great to learn about where you live so thanks. Here in colorado I keep de-icing fluid in my car always in winter. To make your own de-icer, combine two parts 70% isopropyl alcohol with one part water and add a few drops of dish soap. This fluid sprayed on an icy windshield will quickly loosen the ice, making it easy to remove using an ice scraper (or even windshield wipers, if you're willing to wait a little longer).

    It gets to -10degrees F wind chill or worse here if we get hit by a Polar Vortex. I make sure to carry a can of ice dissolver in my car. Get one of those plug in car heaters for instant heat when you start the car. Oh and get a remote starter to warm up your car lol

    The beginning definitely reminds me of what I used to have to deal with when I lived in Alaska. At least you have that nice Toyota Hilux truck! I was always trying to deal with frozen windows in a beat up old Camaro

    You & Christoffer have such a lovely relationship. I can only hope to find someone as loving & caring. :)
    I think the 1st time I see the Northern Lights in person, I will cry. I am practically in tears watching your videos. Your video skills make me feel like I'm there.

    Somehow you ended up in my recommended list (I'm guessing it was from me watching the northern most town in Alaska video lol). I watched several of your videos and am in complete amazement. I've learned quite a bit from you regarding your town and your lifestyle. I even looked up the history of Svalbard on Wikipedia to learn some things because I had never heard of it before. I couldn't help but to smash the subscribe and like buttons haha! Very inspiring little family you have. Keep the vids coming!

    True story. My husband came into the room while I was watching one of your videos…I explained it was about Svalbard…etc etc. He asked what’s the main thing I would like to see there and I said…well, I’d love to see Grim! 😂 I got a tilted head…then I continued to explain. 🤪😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️ Thanks for sharing.

    I keep a 16ounce spray bottle of windshield deicer behind the drivers seat. It's the same stuff that you put into the windshield washer bottle. Mine's rated for -40°f.
