We want to take the kids somewhere where they can play in snow and have a white Christmas. I know snow is not guarenteed but which place is likely to have the most?
It snows in all of the Northern Hemisphere in the winter.
Checking the capitals, you may not be guaranteed snow at Christmas in Stockholm, their weather has been iffy the last few years.
You will probably stand a better chance of seeing snow, for sure in the other two capitals.
Going north of the capitals, you will find snow EVERYWHERE.
Officially:
OSLO:
The sun rises late at 9am, only to set again at 3pm. It is a dark and gloomy time. Average temperatures are below zero from November right through until March. January is the coldest month with an average high of -2ºC and an average low of -9ºC. While extreme cold is rare, it has been known to get as cold as -25ºC in Oslo.
The short days are often overcast and you can go for weeks without sunshine. Things can be a little miserable in winter. However, it is a great time for snow sports and there is even a ski resort within the city limits. All precipitation falls as snow from December till February.
STOCKHOLM:
Winter suffers from the very short days. The shortest day of the year is just 6 hours, compared with nearly 19 in midsummer. The lack of daylight can make things pretty dismal in winter especially in a period of grey weather.
Lows below zero occur in the city from November until March; snowfall is also common during these months. In December, January and February it rarely climbs above freezing at any time of day.
Precipitation falls as snow from November till February and despite the gloom that can encompass Stockholm in winter, the city blanketed under a snow is a stunning sight, especially in the prolonged twilight. It can make it a magical time to visit for those that don’t mind braving the cold.
HELSINKI:
Winter, from December till February, is very cold and rather gloomy for lack of daylight. The average high temperature falls below freezing for the entire season, getting down to -1°C in December and -2°C in January and -4°C in February. The average low is rather unpleasant at -7°C in December, -8 in February and -10°C for the rest of the season. If it gets cold enough the Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, can be seen. The days shorten to six hours of daylight, with an upsetting one hour of sunshine in December. While days do lengthen after December, January still only sees one hour of sunshine per day and February is hardly better with two. Snow falls on most days covering the city in a thick layer of snow. The sea is very cold at 1°C, though further north it gets down to freezing and Bothnia Bay actually freezes over.
You will have a good time where ever you go. All of these cities are fantastic places to visit around Christmas time, with lots of winter related activities, indoor and outdoor.
initiate with the northern hemisphere through fact the southern may well be on its summer season time and then pass it may well be ultimate to look u . s . a . by skill of u . s . a . after that! until you opt to alter your question to be greater particular....
