I have a few questions for the subsim friends coming from NW Germany or W Denmark, or for whoever is familiar with any location(s) near Germany's and Denmark's North Sea coasts. Would you be so nice to answer, at your earliest convenience, as many as possible of them?

1. How common is wintertime snowfall in your area?
   
   
2. On the average, during which months one can expect a significant snowcover, staying within a radius of few kilometers from the sea?
   
   
3. Is there any season/month during which grass becomes dry, at least in part?
   
   
4. In which month deciduous tree leaves start turning yellow/orange/red?
   
   
5. In which month, after the winter break, deciduous trees start producing new leaves?
   
   
6. if you were to provide a simplified description of local vegetation, which tree species would you mention and in which number, knowing that the total must be eight? My current tree selection is:
   
   
   • 2 x European beech (1 big size + 1 medium size)
   • 1 x Common oak (medium size)
   • 1 x Silver birch (medium size)
   • 2 x Scots pine (mediu size)
   • 2 x Norway spruce (medium size)
   
   (small size = 10 m in heigth or lesser; medium size = more than 10 m but lesser than 20; big size = 20 m or more)
   
   How realistic would that be?
