Nice, fresh snow is a very nice thing. Better than rain and mud.” “No, I think it’s really nice that it’s winter again. We haven’t had that for a few years and everyone is talking about the climate crisis. And maybe it’s really nice if you have snow again and sometimes decent ones , low temperatures, so that nature can adjust accordingly.” “We’re here at the Christmas market in Frankfurt and the four of us are enjoying a little break here and are now slowly looking forward to the Christmas season in a bit of a wintry way.” The German weather service warns of dangers from black ice and freezing wet in southern Germany until tomorrow. Persistent light to moderate snowfall is to be expected in the south and south-east of the country from Friday night.
