Snowstorm in southern and western Sweden
The November Storm of 1995 () was a snowstorm, coming from the North Sea in mid November 1995. Beginning on Thursday evening, 16 November 1995, the storm culminated on Friday morning, 17 November 1995, striking against the southern and western parts of Sweden. The snowstorm decreased during the Friday afternoon, disappearing from Sweden. Gothenburg with neighbouring places as the strong winds destroyed what had been cleared, creating giant snowdrifts. It wasn't until Tuesday, 21 November 1995, traffic conditions were back to ordinary. The snow also caused power failures, some lasting up to a week.
Deep snow.
Since measurings begun in 1905, several November records for deep snow were broken.
Traffic.
The winds broke trees. Traffic was heavily affected, and people ended up stuck inside their cars. Getting around by foot was difficult. Getting help took a long time (mobile telephones had just become common at this time, but were still not in the hands of everyone). For many children, school was canceled, and many people could not get to work.
Sports.
Sports were heavily affected, postponing events to other days, because of problems for clubs traveling to and home from away games. Svenska basketligan games were moved from Friday to the upcoming days, and the 1995 edition of motorcycle event Novemberkåsan was moved from the upcoming Sunday until December.
