STOCKHOLM — Scandinavia is not its usual frigid self, with unusually warm weather delaying the onset of winter in northern latitudes normally decked in white.

The lack of snow has been bad news for winter sports — World Cup ski races have been dropped, or held on artificial snow, and mountain ski resorts are unable to open.

There are even reports of bird song and blooming gardens in some places typically entering the winter freeze at this time of year.

“Some flowers, like roses, have actually begun to blossom for a second time,” said Mats Rosenberg, a biologist in Orebro, south-central Sweden.
