  Aurora season

  15 aug – 10 apr · vanligtvisBoka tidigt

  It splits in two: late August to September, when the lights reflect off open lake water and the nights are mild, and the long cold half from November. The city sits under the auroral oval, so clear nights deliver more often than not.

  Deep winter cold

  1 dec – 28 febExtrem kyla

  Minus forty happens most winters and the aurora tours hand out full snowsuits because standing still outside for three hours at that temperature is not a thing you improvise. Vehicles stay plugged in. Källa ↗

  Ice road season

  20 dec – 31 mar · vanligtvisIssäsong

  Once the bay freezes thick enough, a plowed road opens across it to Dettah and the winter roads north start carrying trucks. Load limits rise through January and the whole thing melts out by April. Källa ↗
