Talk:Umeå

Danger of cold

Stay safe warns:

"Beware of cold weather during the winter; several drunk students have frozen to death after falling asleep in the soft snow."

I know this is a real danger as drunk in cold weather, but does such accidents really happen regularly? Here in southern Finland I think I haven't heard about more than a single incident. Of course, here times with temperatures below -15°C are not that common, but I'd think students in Umeå would be aware of the risk and take care of each other.
