This winter was so nice for us as children. I live in Northern Germany and then I saw people skiing on the road in front of our house. I had never seen people on ski before. And we could not go to school. It was great.we had electricity all the time, so we just stayed at home...Our family had no car, so we did not hve trouble with driving
We were meant to go across the country to visit the grandparents for Christmas and the winter holiday. Right the day before, the storm stuck, and all traffic ceased. We spend Christmas in a cold, undecorated house with barely anything to eat. The trip a few days later was still a mixture of "walking in a winter wonderland" and a voyage through hell frozen over... but, yes, our vacation with the grandparents made up for it. New Year's Eve was fantastic... walking through streets with the snow piled up over our heads, the sky lit up with fireworks, and our breath freezing in the ice temperatures. The return trip was a nightmare all over. Dad had left a few days early, to take the car back when it was safer to drive, leaving the rest of us to go by train. German railsroads always had that tiny little problem with the totally unpredictable phenomenon of "winter"... and that extreme situation just exaggerated this problem. We had to wait for half a day at our starting location, being supplied with hot tea and cookies by the station. The train went slowly, with a number of stops, and after what seemed an eternity, completely stopped at a tiny halt in the middle of nowhere. Here the waiting time was not that long... just a couple of hours... but here there was no hot tea. It sure was an adventure.
I was a primary school child at the time. The worst in our region, much further south than the north. It wasn't the amount of snow. There was an accumulation of ice days and one day was particularly bad. In the morning we took the bus 5 kilometers to school and normally it ended at 1 p.m. There were no more buses running because the roads and paths were too slippery and there was very thick ice. The teachers didn't let us go either - they were afraid for us. At some point we left with 2-3 students and it took us over an hour and we didn't walk on tarred paths, but rather on meadows and fields. In the village itself it took forever to get to the front door. There were no parents there either, they couldn't leave work. The ice was really very thick and something similar happened again in the region last year. Colleagues stopped coming home in the evening because of ice and had to spend the night at work...
I remember that winter very well. I was in the army at the time. We soldiers spent the weekend clearing the roads of snow with spades so that emergency vehicles could drive. There were meter-high snow drifts and at some point we didn't know what to do with the snow. Strangely enough, hardly anyone remembers the winter of 1996/97 in Germany. Shortly before Christmas, there was a cold spell and some snow fell. At the turn of the year, there was more snow and the whole of Germany was covered in a blanket of snow. Due to the cold and the blanket of snow, temperatures reached minus 25 degrees during the day and we went for a walk on a frozen river. It didn't get warmer until mid-January and the snow slowly melted. It was magical
I was an bavarian, we have all years snow like this...but in our region it was normal. In the bavarian fordert you can see snow 2.5 m to 3 m high.. but if you life in an area, where not much snow or no snow is, the you scared about.
At that time, a Bundeswehr recovery vehicle took us out of our cut-off village; the power was out and the houses were covered in snow up to their windows.
Ich war da 9 Jahre alt und Lebte an der Schneegrenze. Hier hatten wir 10 bis 15 cm Schnee. 10 Kilometer weiter, durch Schneeverwehungen Teilweise über 3 Meter. Der Schnee von den Straßen wurde praktisch vor meiner Haustür auf unserem Schützenplatz abgeladen. Für uns Kinder war das Klasse. Ich habe eine Arbeitskollegen, der lebte jenseits dieser Schneegrenze. Die konnten das Haus nicht verlassen, weil der Schnee bis zum Dach reichte. Das war ein heftiger Winter. Danach hatten wir noch 2 heftige Winterereignisse hier. Einmal starker Schneefall. Einmal Eisregen, wo die Überland Stromkabel gerissen sind. Dank mobiler Stromaggregate war der Strom nach wenigen Stunden wieder da. Die Reparatur der Kabel dauerte 3 Tage.
Those were the days when we still had snow! Today, we're lucky if it snows for a few days! I was 12 years old at the time and we really had fun in the snow as kids. BTW: Berlin is not in the south! At the time, Berlin was still in the GDR zone and lies to the north-east!
I experienced it as a child. We weren't completely hit, but there was so much snow on the meadow that you could build castles and caves. The snow from the snow blowers was piled so high that you could go sledding. At some point in the 90s we had another winter like that. Less snow but temperatures below -20°C for weeks. The coldest was about -32°C. You had to park your car somewhere protected from the wind, otherwise you wouldn't be able to start it even with winter diesel.
I was 'made' in this winter and born late '79. I know from my area, more East in Stralsund, the snow was laying until Easter. Well I guess it was pretty boring that time 😊
I can still remember that terrible winter. The GDR had switched its entire energy supply to brown coal in order to save foreign currency. The power stations could no longer burn coal because it was frozen and lying in piles. In the first few days of January we had no electricity and no heating for several hours a day.
I was a young teenager at the time and had Christmas holidays. But I couldn't remember it being particularly hard on us, because I live relatively far south. But that year, 1978, wasn't a particularly warm year anyway. At the beginning of May, we went on a school trip to the Bavarian Forest. And while everything had been green here for weeks, there was still a quarter of a meter of snow there and even more...
The problem was the wind. It caused snow drifts several meters high. One night, 2 meters of snow piled up on the road to my parents' house. My father was a policeman at the time. He was picked up for duty by a Bundeswehr tank. They spent days looking for snow-covered cars along the roads. My father told me that they found two cars with dead people on a country road. They had gone to sleep with the engine running so as not to freeze. Unfortunately, the exhaust of their cars was pointing west, so the wind had pushed the exhaust fumes into the cars and they died of exhaust poisoning.
Cologne had three snow clearing vehicles at the end of 1978, one was broken, one was being serviced and number three was supposed to clear the city of millions ...............I drove through the city center of Cologne for a week with snow chains...... Köln hatte 1978 drei Räumfahrzeuge, eines war kaputt, eines zerlegt in der Wartung und Nr. drei sollte die Millionenstadt räumen ...............ich bin eine Woche mit Schneeketten durch die Kölner Innenstadt gefahren......
That winter was quite nasty in the coastal town where I grew up. One of the things I learned was to keep food for at least two weeks and to have some alternative means of communication. Decades later I learned that the father of my then-gf had been driving one of the rescue tanks.
Hi you both sweet Santas😀 Sujis imagination that her pipi could possibly turn into an ice monster is funny. I like you very much🎉 keep on going👍👍👍 greetings from Cologne Germany (where we had a scary foggy day today🫣)😂
I was 12 years old and remembered very well, scary 😨 and exciting 😀 at the same time. Ice-skating Ice-Hokey 🎉Adventure everywhere its needed a big Main Battle Tanks to make the Road snowfree,the House 🏠 was shaking. Sujy are you remembering the Tsunami 20 years ago?
I was also twelve years old and remember those days very well, which I found magical. I only learnt much later that many people died further north and that East Germany (GDR) was desperately fighting against the total blackout. (The coal used to generate electricity was frozen as hard as a rock and could only be freed from the railway carriages by manual brute force (i.e. pickaxe), plus the conveyor belts were also iced over.).
Hi! The "pee"-story was very funny!!! 😂🤣😂 (I didn`t expect to hear something like that)! 🥶 Greetings from Germany with 3 degrees celcius outside (feels like 1 degree), and about 20 degrees in my living room. I am cold! 😄☕🫖 I do understand Sujy!!!

Hello from a Kiel guy. As child we were happy about snow. And it was funny to walk from coast to the other. But for grownups it was hell of course

I was a little kid back then and I loved to jump from the roof of our garage down into the snow!🥰
Hi you both sweet Santas😀 Sujis imagination that her pipi could possibly turn into an ice monster is funny. I like you very much🎉 keep on going👍👍👍 greetings from Cologne Germany (where we had a scary foggy day today🫣)😂
Thank you! :)
I witnessed it then. That was really a disaster. No electricity, no heating and you couldn't shop.
I was 12 years old and remembered very well, scary 😨 and exciting 😀 at the same time. Ice-skating Ice-Hokey 🎉Adventure everywhere its needed a big Main Battle Tanks to make the Road snowfree,the House 🏠 was shaking. Sujy are you remembering the Tsunami 20 years ago?

Yes, Sujy remember, but she grow up in the far north of Thailand, the Tsunami was deep south.
