Stockholm does not have anything that people from the colder parts of the US would recognize as "winter".

Um, average temps in January are well below freezing, with temps below -20 C (0 F) a regular occurrence. It's not Fargo in midwinter, but it's definitely "winter".

Long term average is around -3, with 3 of the past 10 Januaries having an average above zero.

with temps below -20 C (0 F) a regular occurrence

Not since 2011 if SMHI is to be believed and that was only around Bromma and inwards, not around the city center and towards the coast.
