"It Never Snows in Nuremberg..."

"... but it does get cold." Well, the locals are batting .500 with the weather talk. We've had intermittent (light) snow since before Thanksgiving, which tends to disappear after a couple days. But most of western Europe got spanked with record cold and snow late last week, and Nuremberg is no exception. The high temps this week will scrape the high 20's; the overnight lows will hit the teens and single-digits. I actually don't mind the snow all that much (my formative and college years being spent in Upstate New York and the Midwest); it's just that I wasn't expecting it, though the road crews here are totally on top of it, and all major roads are well-salted and gravelled. Next week it'll be in the mid-upper 30's, so once again we will be snow-free.
