I was up in southern Darlicaria (Dalarna) in a cabin by a lake and there has been quite a lot of trees felled by the storm. We managed to clear the private road from the cabin to the communal road network. Makes you appreciate power tools and good neighbors!

Welcome to our wilder climate future.
This year, the Great Lakes region of the U.S. got hit with a similar storm that killed half a dozen people and took out power for hundreds of thousands. It was followed weeks later by deadly storms with historic flooding, high winds, and tornadoes.
In my locale, we've just had several days of ice storms. We tried to go to the grocery store this morning and turned around because we started sliding down the hill on our street into a major road.
We're about to get a bomb cyclone and historic wave activity on the Great Lakes, with more freezing rain and another half meter of snow tomorrow and Tuesday.
Even granting that Michigan is accustomed to severe weather, public services have already been struggling to keep up - roads not salted/sanded/plowed for days, traffic lights not working, lengthy power outages, schools closed, etc. I'd hope the Nordic countries have better responses and more resilient infrastructure, but this is what it means to have unmitigated climate change.
Really not looking forward to the 50 degree temperature drop anticipated to occur over the course of an hour today. My sinuses are pre-emptively upset.

On a lighter note, this year saw storm Johannes beat the arsonists to fell the Gävlebocken!
I have been quite pleased with this part.
