First relief for skiing resorts
Finally, after an extreme November and December with no trace of winter, it has now arrived in the western parts of Germany, too.
Last night was the coldest this winter, after we hadn't had any frost at all, it got down to 17F (-8.5C).
This small skiing resort, the closest to my city, have switched on their skiing lifts the first time last weekend:
