- It didn't take long for this years first Polar Night snow storm to hit Longyearbyen, Svalbard. The winds it brought with it were crazy! Sit out the first snow storm with us in our cosy cabin, and let's go outside and see how bad it really is! 🤩

This is an introverted dream! Snow storms outside, coziness inside, books, lamps, fire, dogs, boyfriend, good designs
I totally agree with that,also warm greetings from Apeldoorn in the Netherlands,Bye!
Agree 💯
Agreed 100%. Greetings from Brazil!
💯 percent agree. Only I changed the boyfriend part to girlfriend. No one tell my wife 😉
very much so 😍 big hello from Oxford UK!
Cecilia is one of the most positive people I’ve ever seen! Her, Christoffer and Grim have a wonderful life!
Totally. The first time I saw her, I thought to myself "nobody can be this chirpy all the time" but over time, I got hooked and understood that she is genuinely like this. It's actually quite infectious 😊
Christoffer's face when you told him about the noise under the house was priceless.
I think he was trying to remember what was under there and what could have moved in the storm wind. Typical though the man gets sent out to investigate, i mean it could have been a polar bear seeking refuge..
Maybe Santa was hiding lol
"Fy FAN!"
Santa is in the Seed Vault
Yep 😂👍
Damn, he cooks AND goes to check on things in the storm. Definitely a keeper, Cecilia 😁
Who would you expect to do it.

Cool atmosphere!!!! It reminds me of movie"the thing"
@@moderndaydrifter4672 ...myself??
Its only -8°c
I love that type of weather. Nothing better than it being cold and nasty outside but you're all warm and cozy inside. Comfy pajamas and slippers, a fire going, a cup of coffee, a fuzzy fur baby, and maybe the aroma of some soup or stew cooking on the stove. Heaven.
Christopher walking in the wind was the best demonstration of the harsh winds. Thank you, sir, for your courage and efforts.
Christopher Walken…? 😂
Poor Christopher battling the storm. That was rough! I love how you go between English and Norwegian dialect. I think your channel is fast becoming my favorite! Magical!!
Finding this channel is already the most unexpected and rewarding subscription of my year. Every video is fantastic and breathtaking
Agree✨✨
Yes!
I feel the same. She's so friendly and it's nice to see how they live.
You need to strap a camera to Grim so we can see a day in the life of Grim!
Hahah! Coming up!
Grim cam!!! What a great idea!!
They have light up collars
Totally here for it!
Yes please
I L❤VE THIS CHANNEL! So positive and drama free, with great hosts, great scenery, awesome music and interesting location. I hope all the best for all three of you. With that said, I'm from the Caribbean and I am terrible with cold weather. 🤦🏻♀️ Even so you've made Svalbard a bucket list visit.
The song is called My Last Song by Eastern Plain 😍 I got it via Epidemic Sound, but it is available to listen to on Spotify 😊
Oh yay thanks for post the name and artist of the song!👏👏👏
I like the song very much
Grim is one of the cutest dogs I've ever seen. I love him and I love your videos! It's so interesting to watch people who have such different lives than your own.
Christopher is a sincere man.
Love the way he is so casual about life.
No sense stressing out about life
I just found your channel 2 days ago and so far, I´ve watched about 70% of all of your videos. I have a severe addiction😍😍 Thanks for your awesome vlogs and giving us glimpses into your extraordinary life! PS: have you ever shared how you and Christoffer met and became a couple?? Would be so interested in a "couple Q&A" to get to know you guys better on a personal level =)
hahah amazing, thank youuu! I haven't made that video yet, but will do so this winter 😊
@@CeciliaBlomdahl looking forward to it! I enjoy hearing more about your background. But, that being said, don’t feel obligated... it’s your life!
I only had this recommended yesterday. I think I've seen 6 or 7 of these videos. Completely hypnotic. I love it!
Joelina456 me too. I live in Florida, Southeast coast of USA. We have our air conditioning all most days so I love watching these videos. And thank you Cecilia. I just love your videos.
I am the same! Found them a week ago. I can watch nothing else!
Anytime I’m having a rough night day. I just watch your videos. Can you make me laugh. I love it when you send Christopher out and tell him good luck lol.
That fire during the storm was AHmazing!! I LOVE when the flames die down and the remnant of the wood is just glowing, flowing and making beautiful fire pictures!! Best part of the fire!!!
God bless you Christopher, I wouldn't have gone back out there for all the tea in China. Your a good man.🦌🦌🦌🥶
“It’s a bit windy”
Grim: “It’s perfect”
Have to say I’m a bit jealous ,I love gray and stormy in front of the fire!
Grim is one seriously loved dog! He is literally melting when you touch him!🖤 Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪👋
We loveee eachotheeerrr 😍
I've binge watched all of your videos in the past 2 days, I'm so happy to have a new video to watch haha
Glad you like them! 😍😍😍
Same I did the same thing lol
Ditto
I did the same but rewatched
You don’t understand how calming your videos are for me. I’m so glad I found your channel, I get so excited when u post!’
You are such a great dog mom! 🥺 I hope Grim knows how lucky he is ❤❤❤
Christoffer's homemade applesauce looks delicious! Be well & love to Grim.
I’ve always wondered if Grim would be able to go potty during a storm. He went outside with no problem at all. The fireplace looks so cozy and beautiful. I love how you edit the videos with the music going. It keeps me captivated 😊
This is quickly becoming my favorite UA-cam channel :)
Mine as well ❤
WOW, thank you! 😊😊
One day, one day I'll be there. I just want to feel that nature's power. It's so amazing. Thank you for giving a glimpse of life on the land! 😍
She keeps a beautiful home in this incredibly harsh environment. That’s a lot of work. Well done.
I'm so glad i randomly stumbled upon this channel yesterday. I've been absolutely loving your content.
Wow, thank you so much! 🤩🤩
@@CeciliaBlomdahl your boyfriend/ husband i don't know as i am new to this channel does not seems to laugh much. Is most norwegian or swedish people are like this. But still he gives calmness and positive vibes to this channel. Love from India.
The best time of year, I love the constant blue light makes everything seem so cozy in contrast to the bright orange flames!😍🔥
I agreee! 😊
The sea looks angry. Grim acts like it's no big deal when he goes out. ❤ The music is beautiful.
Cecilia: “it’s a bit windy”. Christopher meanwhile landing in mainland Norway….. 😰💨💨💨 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha!😂
My goodness
I just love this video! I'm living my Arctic life vicariously through you.
Thank youuu!
Cecilia your channel is so wonderful. Seeing Svalbard through your eyes is a pleasure. When I feel anxious I’ve started closing my eyes and picturing Svalbard and it really helps me take a breath and calm down. Thank you for sharing your home with us, and love to you, Grim and Christoffer from the UK.
Nice to see you, Christoffer and Grim staying warm. He really does love that crocodile! Stay safe and warm💜🐶❄️
Fantastic! Your first polar nights/winter in your beautiful extended home❤ Love Chris's new look, the wind sounds fierce. Grim was having a fabulous time 😆
Stay warm and safe guys, the lights and bigger windows look beautiful 😍 xx
Thank you Pam! 😍
This day last year, we had a storm where our entire season's worth of snow fell in 24hrs...this year it was +11C today. Looks like winter decided to come to you first! Greetings from Saskatchewan, Canada, a place where I also can relate to the experience of walking diagonally in a snowstorm in the dark 😂
Also from saskatchewan! Love this channel
Poor Christoffer! I felt so bad for him coming home in that and then having to check everything outside.
Reminds me of snowstorms on Lake Superior on the North Shore of Minnesota! Love your channel - thanks for sharing 🥰
Love how you love Grim! He's a very lucky dog! Once again -- your music is captivating!
Seems like I'm not the only new person here :) I discovered your channel three days ago and I watched a lot of your videos since then. Absolutely blown away by the nature and everything up there looks dreamy. Grim is the cutest 😍 keep it up your contend is amazing 👏
Greetings from Germany
So happy I’ve discovered your channel! So interesting! I’m obsessed with Svalbard now!
Would love to see content on The Seed Vault, Barentsburg, how climate change affects Svalbard and more Northern Lights! Northern lights are on my bucket list!
Another great video, thank you! I absolutely loved Christopher´s face in 1:50 when you told him he needs to go and check the house because there was a strange sound, this expression is so universal for all men across the world when something happens and they quicky brainstorm the list of possible problems! Love it! I love the atmosphere you have at home.
Just a random question - I have seen lots of snowing in your videos, but is it ever raining in Svalbard?
Grim is so precious with his little toy!
He lovesss that thing 😍
It’s Diwali/ Deepawali in India. Best wishes to you on this Festival of Lights.
I can't wait for another snowmobile excursion video!
You and me both! 🤩 Soon the season begins! 😊
Grim reminds me of all the pets we've had over the years and how they are part of the family. thanks for the great videos, really really enjoy them.
Haha, I watched your video when I first woke up while still in bed. I was SO disoriented when I then got up and came out to find bright sunshine and warm temps here in the Nevada desert, USA. Good job Christoffer getting all those apples! That was a great price! And if he has just as good a way of preserving the strawberries as he does the apples, then I agree, he didn’t get enough. I’d love to see what he does with them all.
When I see videos like this, I think about the history of the land and the people. How hard it must have been to survive there hundreds of years ago!
At first I was worried that Christoffer would encounter a polar bear under your cabin when you said you heard a noise. He went out investigating without the shotgun. I laughed when you showed Grim’s 🦷 and said “ let’s put that back now” 🤣🤣
As much as I loved seeing Svalbard in summer, I really was looking forward for the first snowstorm in polarnight and a cozy fire in your cozy cabin.
I love the winter🤭
Stay safe and warm. Love to Grim💕
Canada here - When you open the door to show the storm, and knowing the temperature, I am having winter flashbacks…not ready for it yet!! 🥶❄️❄️
I live in Hawaii, so I’m loving the immersion into this cozy world. Love your dog! I’m so glad he’s warm and toasty.
Cecilia I have a book suggestion for you. The author is Robyn Mundy and the book is called Cold Coast set in Svalbard and is about the first female trapper in Svalbard and her story of life there in 1932. Sounds like an interesting read. Christopher had me in stitches laughing when he was outside in the snowstorm walking around😂
Antiquarian book collector @MichelleRoberts?
Your channel was recommended to me today and reading the comments it seems UA-cam put your content out for many people these last two days. Awesome!
I've bingewatched it today and you are doing an amazing job! Subscribed.
OMG 3:41 - 4:13 was pure chaos and I loved it so much! I love snuggling up indoors on a good blizzard day. Thanks again for another fantastic video!
There are so many good white noise sounds from the storm and the fire! I would absolutely love to fall asleep to the sounds of Svalbard. 💤✨💙
Maybe a Spotify venture next? 😊
Lots of love to you Cecilia & Grim ❣️
Thank you for sharing so much of your life. Your videos truly make me feel happy.
Looking forward to seeing your place decorated for Christmas...ooh I can't wait 💗
Awesome! Your cabin looks so cozy! Some parts of Newfoundland got snow today so it is coming. I love snow storms. Sitting inside looking out. Love to see the three of you ❤️
Spa time with Grim was so sweet 💙 Christoffer is so brave, out there walking the dog and securing all the things that might get tossed around.
I am loving your videos. Thank you for showing us the life at North Pole. Looking forward to see more !!
Your slice of life style videos are SO calming and relaxing, please never change
Aw Grim is so cute and energetic, he reminds me of my beautiful Tess. We sadly had to put her down yesterday at the ripe old age of 13 due to her health. So bittersweet. Sending love from the UK 🤍✨
awww all the love! I bet she had the most wonderful life 🧡🧡
I so enjoyed this, I do love a good storm!! Your home is so cozy especially with the woodstove fired up. Stay warm!!
Your home is so cozy and the wind blowing makes it feel magical. Thanks for sharing a part of your day!
I'm getting to really appreciate Christopher from you videos. Love his expression when you told him to go look under the bathroom! I would like to see another video of his cooking. I made the cod with pureed cauliflower and it was delicious! More recipes please! Also, I like your taste in books. Are there any non-fiction books you like?
Somehow, I stumbled upon your channel earlier this week, and I cannot get enough of it. My husband watched the cabin tour with me -- and now he's into your content, too We love, love, love your cabin! And your views! Also the life you and Christoffer have created together, and the insights you let us all have into it. And of course, love your beautiful, sweet, and a little crazy, Grim. We have plans to spend a month in Sweden, Denmark and Norway (including up in Tromso, Hammerfest and Honningsvag) next winter during Polar Nights, so this gets us ready... One day, hope to also get to Svalbard. We live in the US, BTW, - in the hot, humid, tropical climate of South Florida (about an hour north of Miami).
Wow! Your house looks amazing with all the lights. So cosy and warm. What a fantastic snowstorm. Sending love from England.
Omg you have transported me to Svalbard ! So beautiful. I could feel the snow on my face and the warmth of the fire all at the same time. Thank you.
Such a brilliant vlog Cecelia, Grim the most adorable dog and that terrible storm outside! But then you come inside to your beautiful cosy home...and WOW! The blue light outside next day looks like another planet 🤩 PS. I love Christopher’s calm relaxed manner even in all the stress of the storm, nothing phases him, he’s gorgeous! 🥰
Wonderful nature, last week I accidentally saw you on UA-cam, I watched all the videos, super interesting that you share something different.Keep like that.
Greetings from NJ, 🇺🇸!
This video was so relaxing, especially when you had the fire going and the wind outside was blowing. It just seemed to be so cozy. Thank you for sharing your interesting days.
Found ur vid by accident, and loving it !! Here in indonesia, we dont got no snow at all, hot all year long, it’s always lovely to see a cozy home surrounded by snow ❄️🤩😍
Thanks for a lovely video,
Keep em coming please 😆😊💜
keep up the videos, really interesting to see how different but same life is there so far north. cheers from Macedonia 🇲🇰
I LOVE your videos! And you are so funny! I literally laugh out loud 😂 Also, I want a Finnish Lapphund now! Kind of hard to find a breeder in America, though.
Beautiful, peaceful vlog. Love Grim snuggling with his crocodile toy and Christoffer making apple puree. Such a cozy place. ❤❤
Love your channel
Thanks for sharing your favorite books to read. Love your stories of the life you have in such a cold climate.
I just enjoy your channel so much. I’m in the northeast USA and we are definitely in autumn….first snowflakes just within the last few days. Definitely an autumn/winter girl. Being able to sit and have coffee ‘with’ you is so enjoyable and relaxing. Fellow fans: we should plan and organize a trip to Svalbard to experience it for ourselves! What do you think? Ha wouldn’t that be grand? Hi Christoffer….Hi Grim!
How cosy 😍🥺 I can’t wait for snow and being super cosy indoors. Hello Grim 😍 can you recommend any Arctic books? Also SO excited for your Etsy page starting up, fabulous idea x
It makes the inside so cozy! Beautiful
Awesome video Cecilia! I felt the cold of the wind and then the heat from the fireplace. What a nice home you have, I look forward for more winter videos!
Oh how I love the snow storm blogs, so jealous
Sending warm sunny greetings from Jamaica ☀ 🇯🇲
Well that storm was scary. Hope those windows hold up. Got to be strong with the winter just starting.
Grim loves this cold and Christopher is dressed for the temps. And you too. Glad you are safe. Cosy time. Your town is bigger than I thought. Thanks for tour. Stay warm.😘🥰😍
Another super video. It is sooo interesting to follow your daily life together with Christoffer and Grim. And so beautiful Svalbard is. All the best to you, Christoffer and Grim.
The moon is amazing. Grim has a great life.
Christoffer looks like the Michelin Tire man in that high vis orange jacket. I'll bet it's warm though.
hahah it is sooo warm, but SO BIG! I have one too 😂
Loving your videos. So glad I found your channel, and thanks for the Fahrenheit conversions 👍🏻
thank you! I wondered about the really bad storms there and how isolating it must be. It looks like your roads are much better plowed than mine are in New Jersey. Keep warm! I just ordered a hoodie from you, the one with the Svalbard on the front and grim on the back. Can't wait! Longyearbyen is on my bucket list of places to go (in the summer, of course). Cheers!
Christopher outside against the wind was crazy. You two having matching jackets which is adorable.
Relaxing with one of your chill vlogs at the end of a busy day taking care of my toddler is just what I needed. 😌
I'm so glad! 😍
Wonderful. This is better than some of those polar nights in a snowstorm with a fireplace going and books around.Thanks!
Beautiful home, beautiful pup! I can't even imagine how cold it is. Sitting here in Florida at 2 PM with our windows open!!! Great videos!!!!!
“Is that a yeti? Or is it my boyfrieeend? I think it’s both” 🤣🤣 They way you say boyfriend kills me!
hahah 😂😂
Hello from Scotland 🏴
Hiiiii!
@@CeciliaBlomdahl new subscriber, love Svalbard! You do an amazing job of documenting it all! Oh and I am in absolute love with Grim ❤️ hes just the bestest boy x
Awww it was a beautiful storm! Love the new puffers! They look warm❤always nice to see Christopher and his apple puree looked tasty!
I have got your video in recommendation just few days ago and I can’t stop watching. I’m totally thankful that you share such beautiful views and Norwegian nature with your subscribers. Grem is sweetheart ❤️. Wish you all the best you and your family.
Stoner is one of my very favorite books, too!
I graduated from the University of Missouri which is the setting of this novel, so the written descriptions were so special to me.
I will read it again, also.
Omg then it must be even better for you! 🤩
We had a light dusting of snow this morning but once the sun came up it disappeared 🌨❄️ I’m near Niagara Falls Canada 🇨🇦
Love Niagara Falls and love Niagara on the lake so beautiful 😍 we were there one December gorgeous 😀
I have to remind myself how spoiled I am and where I live and hr from Toronto 1/2 hr from Niagara Falls NY so many trails rivers and as of right now trees are changing colours 🍂🍁
I love your channel. Thank you for sharing with us. I grew up with a woodstove for heat and I miss that type of heating so very much. Now that I'm older, I don't miss the repetitive cutting, stacking to season that went with it during the summer. Although I still admit the reward in the winter made all that work so much more of a reward. I am completely envious of your beautiful wood stove. Mine was a huge black iron box with a window that got so sooty, I never got that beautiful view of the fire.
Keep warm and I'm going to keep watching! Warm snoot boops for Grim! He's so cuddly.
The 'perfect storm' ... wild outside and cozy inside. Remodelling your home just for this. Satisfying.
