You (read: Iowa) made our local news broadcast this morning in SW Ohio.

We have not had it too bad here so far this winter, seems like all the big storms have either lessened in intensity by the time they get here, or the worst of 'em pass us by to the north or south.

One major snowfall a couple weeks ago where all the schools and a lot of businesses closed for a day or two, but they predicted it correctly so it wasn't a surprise when it got here.

The cold temps and wind chills have been worse to deal with than any precipitation we've gotten.

Yea I guess. Although if you were to go hiking off road today you'd need a pair of snow shoes. Or cross country skis.

Ah now see, that's the stuff right there. Hey, lemme tell you of a mid-winter camping trip I took way back in high school!:rotfl2: It was a complete disaster! :D A pair of those snowshoes would have come in handy, to say the least.

so far winter in Vienna wasn't too cold.
the average temperature in the last weeks stays around 0°C (32°F), but there is light snowfall every now and then.
Germany had it pretty worse these days: in Berlin they got nights with a minimum of -20°C (~ 5°F)
brrrr, that's a bit uncozy!
