    Aurora season ends in late March / early April. With the winters we've been having lately, I wouldn't really want to guarantee much snow at all (!) (I'm blaming global warming!) - in Tromsø, a bit further south, we didn't really get much snow at all until February / March this year (and now it's simply refusing to melt, still quite a bit of snow in the mountains!) If you want good chances of *both* lots of snow and northern lights, I'd choose late February / early March.

    Yes, with the warm winters in the north, your best hope is February & March. About nightlife, September to April you will have the night, May to August is not exactly night there, but then the party never ends ;-)
