Widdi Posted October 20, 2007 Posted October 20, 2007 (edited) I had to be in Munich yesterday (19-10-2007), due to work. I went to the southern Munich region at 700m asl., like I often like to do. first I had planned to take some snowy pictures in the Afternoon, but rain showers prevented me. The rain transformed into snow after 7 pm. so I took some pictures of the very first snow below 1000m asl. in southern bavaria for the Season 2007/2008. The lightning is not that great, due to darkness, but the snow should be seen falling and laying down. This was taken at the restaurant "Klosterbraeu-Stueberl" in the small village of Kloster Schaeftlarn at 600m asl. The rain transformed into snow just a few minutes before the shot. stary sky, well, almost, just snowflakes indeed ;-) first results on the railroad tracks and huge flakes. Snow cover on the grass. (There were about 2-3cm at this point after just 1 hour of snowing) snowy car (not mine, i'm driving an Opel Astra not an Audi!!) mFg Widdi PS: This region is capable of sometimes around 80-90cm of snow in great winters, due to the high altidute. Normal winters result in up to 40-50cm, and 3 centimetres of snow for a season start isn't bad either. Edited October 20, 2007 by Widdi Quote
Doctor Sinister Posted October 20, 2007 Posted October 20, 2007 I have a suspicion this winter is going to be colder than usual - mainly based on the crappy summer we had here in the UK. Time will tell of course whether I am correct or not... Dr. S. Quote

Time will tell of course whether I am correct or not...Dr. S. Hehe, our summer was also very crappy... They said this is going to be a very cold winter. We shall see.. Finally a white Christmas I hope! :-/ Quote
LordGalewind Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 Indiana weather is **** >:-( Its October and in the nineties................Last year it took until feb for an actual accumulation of any snow. If this continues christmas will be like this........ Quote
Mr Hobbles Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 lol that's an awesome picture. Unfortunately last Christmas we got absolutely no snow here. And the year before, we got only two days worth, and neither of them were particularly close to Christmas Day. I have the feeling this Christmas is going to be no different. :-( Although one can hope... Quote
Lt. Col. Thok Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 Wow. Kingston is still having weather above and including 20 degrees (Celsius), and we are in an area classified for heavy snow. In the wise words of Al Gore: "Sequel! Sequel! Sequel!" Quote
SirNadroj Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 Wow! Over here on the East Coast, or where I am anyways, it's been REALLY warm! Very comfortable! I dunno if that's a sign of a cold winter or a mild one. Last year was really mild. Probably because of global warming... X-D Quote
Shadows Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 Nice pics, always neat to see some snow. I don't really expect any here, not so much because of global warming but because it's only snowed here once in my entire lifetime ... |-/ Quote
MatthewUSA Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 Here in Colorado, we have had quite a bit of cold days in the last few weeks. Today, we even had a short snowfall. The dusting did not accumulate on the ground though. Last December, we had a little under 3 feet of snow for Christmas. I wonder if we will see snow like that again this year. I would not mind to see that again this year. I am definitly ready for the cool down. I am tired of the 85-90 degree days. How much snow does Germany usually get? The snow last year was abnormal. Colorado usually will see snowfalls like that between Feb. & March. Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!! Quote
trooperdavinfelth Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 Mehh, as far as this goes, I like global warming in that we won't need to use expensive heat! :-P It's still nice and warm up here, so I guess we'll get ours when we get it. Quote
Widdi Posted October 23, 2007 Author Posted October 23, 2007 How much snow does Germany usually get? The snow last year was abnormal. Colorado usually will see snowfalls like that between Feb. & March. Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!! Well it all depends on the Region, where you live. i'm in Southern Bavaria and getting often ca. 20cm of snow in an event at 484m asl., since I'm too far from the alps to get their accumulations. In the alps however, there could even come 1m down in a heavy snow event. And sometimes I'm getting 50cm of snow, like on 03-05-2006 when a heavy snowstorm struck the region. Northern germany gets much less, than we, because they're too low and too near to the coasts. the mountain ranges if low, or medium get snow depending on the height and snowfalls. mFg Widdi Quote
Dfenz Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 I was in Legoland in Gunzburg on Sunday last (21 October) and it was snowing but it wasn't sticking to the ground. David Quote
