The November Storm of 1995 (Swedish: Novemberstormen 1995) was a snowstorm, coming from the North Sea in mid November 1995. Beginning on Thursday evening, 16 November 1995, the storm culminated on Friday morning, 17 November 1995, striking against the southern and western parts of Sweden. The snowstorm decreased during the Friday afternoon, disappearing from Sweden. Gothenburg with neighbouring places as the strong winds destroyed what had been cleared, creating giant snowdrifts. It wasn't until Tuesday, 21 November 1995, traffic conditions were back to ordinary. The snow also caused power failures, some lasting up to a week.
