Gawan said:We have now the first snow here (in Germany) and what is a bit strange, that still the trees have also leaves on, so that many trees and bushes did break or collapse, since the snow is wet and heavy too (and caused some power outages in middle Germany). Some news-sites say it is not common and may happen every 30 or 40 years, where other sites start the: there's nothing to see here lines in the end of an articles. And within one week the temperature dropped from 20°C to 0/-1°C.

Here* for once it is a bit back to normal, cold nights (around zero more or less) and the days when sunny are around 9 to 10°C which can warm up if facing the sun.loreta said:The weather here, Spain, is crazy like the people. Very cold days, nights minus 0 and during day around 5 or 6 celcius and suddenly very warm days, around 10 and today we expect 18 celcius. Not normal at all!
