Places with weeks of nonstop snow people who can't avoid driving usually invest in a set of skinny steel wheels, skinny winter tyres and a bag of sand in the boot. But round here the roads are usually clear and if you just take your time, drive in a high gear, low revs you'll be ok.

It's by train...3 days there, and the same back...with stops in Hamburg & Stockholm (outbound) and Brussels (on the return).
Oh, itchy feet here reading this route! Where are you staying when you arrive? Any photos will be appreciated.
Will be staying in the Scandic for the night, but as there’s not a lot to do in Narvik (it’s basically a small cruise/fishing port, although I did find out there’s a small ski area) it’s just to break up the trip and to have a proper shower/bed/meal.
Fortunately, in this part of Texas we don't get a lot of snow. My Z spends most of winter in my shop. I drive my late wife's SUV. If there is significant snow, and since we don't have much in tjecwsy of snow removal, I drop air pressure down to about 25 psi and drive slowly. Worked well when I lived in NYC...
Good pic i personally would have lost the snowman as its the first thing that makes it look fake.
That catches your eye lessNot that there is no-one driving??

I’ve a question about covers: does using one make the bodywork paint bubble? Very tiny bubbles?
Shouldn't make the paint bubble. But I suppose some cheapo wierd plastic sheet that is leeching solvents or releasing agents might make paint react. I once had a slug on the bonnet of my car. Must have been there a few days baking in the sun and the paint under the slug did lift. But the paint probably hadn't been applied correctly.
Ideally you need a proper waterproof but breathable cover, that also has a soft lining. Without breathability the car will just sweat, and without the soft lining, wind moving the cover can cause abrasion of the paint. Back in the 80s I ruined my Mk3 Spitfire after just 6 months beneath an (admittedly plastic) cover. Modern fabric covers are a lot better, particularly if they have tightening straps to prevent undue wind movement.
