After recent severe cold spell milder air invades Scandinavia

Scandinavia has seen a spectacular turn of events in that milder air has advected eastward and temperatures in some places are over 30°C higher than they were just 48 hours earlier. The ease with which this transition occurred has been truly remarkable in nature, with little or no precipitation on the change from severe cold to milder weather.

7-9 January 2024 09 UTCUTC Coordinated Universal Time or UTC is the primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks and time. It is within about 1 second of mean solar time (such as UT1) at 0° longitude (at the IERS Reference Meridian as the currently used prime meridian) and is not adjusted for daylight saving time. It is effectively a successor to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). – 48 hour temperature differences

Here’s a thermograph from an aerodrome at Jokkmokk in northern Sweden to see the remarkable rise in temperature from a low of -38°C on the 5th, to a high of 5°C earlier today.
