No snow in Germany? same here in eastern Iowa USA. Or average snowfall for Nov-April is 2+meters. So far this "snow season" Zero snow. Plus we have above normal tempeatures for winter. They claim it's El Ninio effect. I think it's Al Gore!!!:D

We had snow showers one day and it melted away the other. Than we got new snow again, but it only lasted for two more days. Temperatures are far to high. On the highest mountains there was some snow, we went to the Zugspitze one day, we had snow there, even some powder but the weather was awfull. Windy, low clouds, poor visibility.

I'm telling you it's all Al Gore's fault!:D

But actually I saw on the news that the meteroligist are blaming all this warm winter weather worldwide on El Nino..

You want snow? Denver CO USA has had over 1m of snow since the December...

Newsflash..there was a massive avalanche in Colorado USA. Not many details right now..They have had up nearly 2m of snow in the Colorado Rockie Mountains

DENVER - A huge avalanche buried several cars and sent others over the edge Saturday on U.S. 40 near 11,307-foot-high Berthoud Pass, Colorado highway officials said.

"Our crews said it was the largest they have ever seen. It took three paths," said Stacey Stegman, spokeswoman for the Colorado Department of Transportation.

Crews had rescued at least six people at the site some 60 miles west of Denver, she said.

Rescuers were probing the area for other survivors.

She said some cars were buried by the snow in an area called Stanley near Berthoud Falls between 10:00 and 10:30 a.m.

Berthoud Pass is the main route to Winter Park, one of Colorado's largest ski areas.

Re: Happy New Year!!!!!

Or Thor has lost his hammer and cant keep the northern winds in check, so those have rode of and no one brings the arctic chill:D :D

But in many places of our not so rich areas, winter tourism is big thing and that loses lots of its lure with lack of snow..
