Norway, Denmark, and Iceland are really good at this sort of thing too. Must be the long winters.

well...it was up to -25 degrees celsius this winter in Ukraine (my birthplace)
and my old peugeot 405 (1988) worked fine ))) I don't think it was much colder this winter in Scandinavia.

the weather is normal in Stockholm now

Scandinavia is quite big and spans a lot of latitude. You can't really say what the winter temperatures "there" are

There are places where it's been much colder than -25 and places where it never got that cold at all.
