Massive SNOWSTORM & Power CUT at Our Cabin ︱ Svalbard

Another snowstorm rolled in over our cabin here on Svalbard - and of course, it just happened to be the same day they planned a power cut. Perfect timing, right? 🥹😂

We got snowed in (again), dug ourselves out (again), and spent the night keeping the fire going! Come join us for a blustery, cabin day full of snowy scenes, crackling fires, and that wild Svalbard winter energy. Get your coffee (or tea) ready and enjoy! ✨ Thank you SO much for watching and for being here! 💗☕️

Every time Cecilia goes outside and leaves the door open, I can hear my mom saying “Cloooose the door!!” 😂😂

Hello everyone, good morning good evening or good night. Once again, we all meet up to watch our favorite show. I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend and they are having a great day. I will always say this. It’s my favorite time of the day as I’m here still in my PJs with my coffee and my breakfast. I really feel like this has become such a sense of family when we all meet up on Sunday to view Cecilia‘s videos and I truly love this. ❤❤

I had a good laugh when Grim insisted that he come in the usual door, not the kitchen door you had cleared! Dogs are such creatures of habit. ❤️

[shinylittlepeople]

I love how Grim won't come out of the sliding barn doors until Christopher stands in the door way and makes a tunnel for Grim to walk through and then smooth sailing... so cute! Lol!

[brendatruant]

Cecilia on the snow bank, Grim digging himself a bed in the snow, and Christofer making Lego flowers… lightened and brightened my day. Thank you! Much needed. ❤️

I started to giggle by the end of the video … Cecilia: “We have to stay home to keep the cabin warm” — proceeds to continually open and leave ajar every door in the house repeatedly 😂😂
I never get tired of the scenery. A walrus !!!! It’s hard to comprehend that you go so quickly from continual darkness to continual daylight. The landscape really is a spectacular backdrop for the beautiful contrasts of light and colours that you get there. Seeing Grim all curled up and sleeping peacefully amidst a blustery snow storm makes me in awe of Mother Nature. She’s a genius for sure. ❤

Cecelia’s sunny, positive personality absolutely shines in every video. She has a real zest for life and I love that she expresses her appreciation of the beauty of Svalbard. Such a pleasure every Sunday.❤️

Staying at home 'just to keep the fire going' is so old timey and wholesome. 🙂

[ZaidLara]

Even though it is difficult to resist the temptation to watch the video as soon as it's posted, I save it till bedtime and watch it before I go to sleep because the videos are so calming and positive.

[cmflyer]

I speak for all of us when I say we treasure our vicarious existence through the simple facts of Cecilia and Christopher's Svalbard life. Earth, sea, snow, fire, coffee mugs. Thank you!

[MOOREISH]

One thing for sure.. that cabin is STRONG

[helenellis]

Cecelia in her pj’s, drinking coffee outside in 0 degree weather — pure joy! ☺️

I feel so cosy watching this from a warm autumn evening in Australia, just rocking my baby to sleep watching a snowstorm on Svalbard!

[andreacarreiro]

I'm Brazilian and I live in Rio de Janeiro. I started watching your videos during an unbearable summer, with temperatures over 42°C!!! It's unthinkable for us to imagine HOW you manage to live in such a harsh climate. And you must think the same about us! I love learning about how people live around the world, in different climates, with different cultures and habits. I love your channel!

[merislaw]

I can't believe that Grim is almost 10 years old, he looks and acts just like a puppy still! hes just a baby🥺!

[Seymour]

Omg entire snow shoveling portion of this has me rolling. The fall and then telling Grim he has no paternal instincts 😂😂😂💀

[michelleross]

Grim digging himself a bed in the snow is the sweetest thing ever. Adorable. Also, I don't know if it is available in your area, but Adequan shots gave my old lab several years of arthritis relief. The difference was miraculous.

Sat watching in our hotel room (Radisson) whilst enjoying our final night in Svalbard. Loved every minute of our week here in Longyearbyen and looking forward to returning sometime in the future ❤

No matter how bad the situation is in Svalbard, Cecelia and company make the mood comfortable, cozy, and relaxing. Time for coffee.

When there is a snowstorm, the cabin is more cozy than ever..like a safe and warm nest... It's strange but I feel it too, even through the video ...🤷😏
