context_page_description: Cyclone Dagmar and as Cyclone Patrick by the Free University of Berlin was a powerful European windstorm which swept over Norway on Christmas Day 2011, causing severe damage in central coastal areas, before continuing over the Scandinavian peninsula towards the Baltic Sea and Gulf of Finland. The storm caused $45 million in damage.
context_section_description: Patrick formed as a weak low just south of Newfoundland on 24 December. The system moved across the north Atlantic, deepening rapidly to 971 mb (28.7 inHg) by Christmas Day. On 26 December, Patrick made landfall in western Norway with a central pressure of 964 mb (28.5 inHg). The storm continued to move eastwards at a rapid pace, however, as it was overland it had weakened significantly. It hit Finland the same day, St. Stephen's Day (Tapani in Finnish), and got the Finnish name due to that day. It then moved out of the Free University of Berlin's tracking charts the next day.
