I know I know that Americans will not be overly impressed, with their Blizzards at the East coast being much worse and a frequent event in the winter season, but this is Germany, the middle of it, and for the regional standards this snow event is absolutley exceptionell. I am not certain when was the last time i saw snow living for longer than just 3 or 4 hours, but its been many years. We had a huge snow desaster over here in the region, with some districts north of my hometown having no electricity for days - but that is 15 years ago.
Currently, all truck traffic in the area of my hometown has been prohibited by police, and I heard three driving cars over the day. No busses drive currently either, also no trains. Its wonderfully calm and peaceful. I love it. I am no city boy.
For the centre of the messy zone they project temperatures this night of -21°C.
