There’s a Scandinavian winter tradition in which you sit in a sauna and then run outside and roll around naked in the snow. I’m half Norwegian but I live in Brrrooklyn, so the best I could do was to close out Ontario Bar during the Nor’easter and flop my not-that-drunk ass into a bus stop. It’s not very often that Grand Street shuts the fuck up for once and invites you to frolic in it. Also, half the SBTVC folks have ended up naked on this site and I feel left out.

Scandinavia[1] is a region in northern Europe that includes Denmark and two of the Scandinavian Peninsula’s nations, Norway and Sweden. The third nation on the Scandinavian Peninsula, Finland, is sometimes considered a Scandinavian country in common English usage, and Iceland and the Faroe Islands are sometimes also included.[2] The term Nordic countries refers to Denmark, Norway and Sweden as well as Finland and Iceland, and associated territories.
