Yeh, we really want to go back for the Northern lights... the price to pay for the 24 hour sunlight.
The weather in the Scandinavian countries was ok. Obviously it depends how far up you go as to how cold it will be but we just crossed into the arctic circle and went to the Santa Claus village. That is where the pic of the arctic circle sign was taken and you can see what Nadia was wearing. Probably about 13-15 degrees at a guess.
When we did the highest point of the "Path of the trolls" it was a bit cooler up there as you can see from the depth of the snow.

If you want to do the northern lights, the main "town" next to Santa Claus village is supposed to be a good place. There is a big glass viewing tunnel or a big hill (which is supposedly mosquito infested). The town is called Rovaniemi.

If you pre-book there are plenty of deals to be had with little wooden cabins which are basic but really well kept and clean. Suppose it's just a step up from camping.
