I found an official weather station near Abisko (42 kms distant). Since the past 13 months, the coldest it has gotten over winter was -26.3C (Jan 20th). It was actually above 0C for the first ~week of January during the day-time. It also went above 0C one day (early February), and again for appx 3 days the 3rd week of February. There were 3 distinct cold waves during january of this year lasting ~10 days, then ~4 days; then 6 days (a cold snap for me is when temps dip below -16C). In February, there were a few sharply cold days (4 of them) that went down to -16C to -22C, but only for ~1 day each. In March, there one last "gasp" of winter at the beginning of the 3rd week, where temps dipped to -18C to -23C for ~4 days. The really cold months in this region is from beginning of December to end of April. So, 5 months of quite cold weather.
The winds are in the 4.9 to 6.0 meters/second range average over 5 cold months; with possible gusts to 19.5 meters/second (9 ish MPH on average, up to 43 miles per hour-ish gusts)
