    Winters here in northern Germany tend to be milder than in the south. On average, we have fewer frost days and less snow. Which is mostly due to our proximity to the sea. A bit more like Britain, in effect. And many areas of southern Germany have hills and mountains, which also makes winters there colder.

      @@LaureninGermany That is not surprising. Some ancestors of todays British lived in Northern Germany before and the connections were close for long time. The priest of British Church here in Vienna was born in Hamburg, too or think about the Beatles. And we have also some old Celtic remnants in Germany even down in Bavaria - another link to the Islands and Western France. On the other hand there is also strong connection to Poland, Czech and Eastern Europe. In Saxonia, Thuringa and Northern Bavaria many places have still Slavic names, the Polish immigrants to Ruhr area are legend and German knights reached the Baltic states and settlers Romania and even Russia. The late 19th and 20th century divided us by cruel imperialistic and racist ambitions of "too late empire" Germany. The consequences last till now as we see in Eastern Europes' trauma and Brexit, but besides war, terror and borders, Europe has always also been a space of exchange and encounters. The end of Cold War enables us to reconsider our common and devided heritage. Sometimes it is absurd how it can surprise you with unexpected familiarities and alien feelings almost on the same spot.

      Das war wohl ein Scherz du Nordlicht, oder? Schon mal von der Insel Mainau gehört? Nicht alles im Süden, liegt auf 1500 m Höhe, wo es natürlich Sack- kalt ist. Entlang des Rheingrabens jedoch, sind die Winter immer gut auszuhalten (abgesehen von der Tatsache, dass die für meinen Geschmack, eh 6 Wochen zu lange dauern). Der Graben gehört nämlich noch zu der Isotherme, in denen die Winter mild sind. Die geht von Spanien, bis eben zum Rheingraben. Ihr hingegen, lebt in der Zone, der gemäßigten Winter. Und die erstreckt sich locker bis Minsk! Ich möchte den Winter , nur ungern dort verbringen müssen. Weisst du was Fakt ist, beim Norddeutschen Wetter? Ihr habt 3 Wochen früher Herbst, als der Süden. Ihr habt es im Winter eine halbe Stunde früher dunkel. Aber zum Ausgleich dafür, fängt euer Frühling, 3 Wochen später an, als bei uns
      Ich wünsche dir schöne Feiertage, auf deiner Wanderdüne...!

    In the north it rarely, *rarely*, gets actually cold, it's all about humidity and windchill instead. If you have something that breaks the wind a sweater is perfectly adequate to keep you warm.

I didnt expect this from my experience back in Germany. People over here can snap quite easily.

      There are not the Germans at all, the only thing of what unites the various population groups in Germany is High German, otherwise they are not a homogeneous mass where everyone thinks and acts the same way.
      Among the various Germans there are people who love their car more than anything, for whom their car is almost a family member and primarily the men take care of this tin box more than their own children, which is significant and if their sanctuary is damaged, then Of course they are saddened to death. I guess, there are certainly things on the British Isles that upset these people as well.

Plus you may do a walk together with a shepherd and the sheep in the Lüneburger Heide.

    The last few years were really mild winters. Like when I was a kid (I was born 1999) we had winters where the Elbe (in Dresden) freezed and we had several weeks of minus degrees. The last few years there were only a handfull of days like this though. It might also have to do with living closer to the shore nowadays though.

We had recently some very cold days here in the Mosel valley, where I live and today I went first time into the winyards to cut the grape plants in the cold winter wind. It's also a very special atmosphere now at the end of the year in the darkest and coldest days and nights of the year. Chapeau for you channel.

    Liebe Lauren,
    es gibt eine alte, norddeutsche Weisheit, die da lautet: Es gibt kein schlechtes Wetter, es gibt nur die falsche Kleidung.
    Es stimmt, der Norden Deutschlands ist meist kühler als der Süden oder der Westen. Viel davon ist auf den Wind zurück zu führen. es ist nicht wirklich kalt, aber durch den Wind im Norden ist die gefühlte Temperatur oft deutlich niedriger, als es tatsächlich ist. Tatsache ist aber auch, dass es im Norden durch den Golfstrom in der Winterzeit im Norden oft deutlich wärmer ist als in der Alpenregion. Egal, wenn Du nach einem Spaziergang in ein Cafe einkehrst, dann wird eine heiße Schokolade oder ein Tee mit Rum und Friesengebäck nicht nur Dein Herz ganz schnell wieder erwärmen.

    The UK can do extreme weather as well. I remember a winter I spent with my partner in London. It was so absolutely fricking cold, I barely left the house and that says something because I live near the alps and use my bicycle all year round to go to work. Uh and don't get me start on the weather in Wales, It changes so fast that I usually layer up, no matter if in winter or summer. It is windy at first, half an hour later it rains and another half an hour later you are dying from a heatstroke. Rinse and repeat. ;) I remember talking to a cab driver in Cologne a few years ago and he told me that his kids ( 5 and 7 years old) have never seen snow their entire life, I told him the longest I remember having snow was more than 6 months in 2007, where the first snow fell around the 24th October and the last snow on the ground was around the end of April, that was something he could not comprehend, while I can't comprehend living somewhere where kids don't have seen or played in the snow for 7 years.

    Hi Lauren!
    Yes, that winter weather in merry old Krautland… The nasty thing about it is that often enough, there is no suitable clothing. Germany doesn't have just one winter. There basically are two climate zones colliding here, the oceanic and continental climate. As great masses of water preserve their heat rather well, oceans vary in temperature only little between summer and winter. Land masses on the other hand can get could on their surface rather quickly. Cold air is heavier, so great masses of air lumber over large continents in winter, which causes air pressure to rise. In high air pressure, you have less clouds. Clouds, being water, trap infrared radiation, thus actually form a heat shield. With them squeezed and frozen out off the sky, the chilling is even accelerated as the remaining warmth just radiates off into space. That is why continental climate is extreme in the high seasons of summer and winter, extremely hot or cold.
    Only today Kachelmannwetter are discussing a Luftmassengrenze, a border of air masses over Germany again, where Atlantic cyclonic systems and eastern European/Asian fed anticyclonic systems may bring loads of downcasts. No one can tell where that border will be: Further to the south-east or north or… 🤔
    Bavaria, where you live, is way further into the continent and thus affected by continental climate more strongly. The weather there accordingly tends to be more extreme. I live near Cologne, which is most of the time dominated by Atlantic climate which hardly brings extended real frost. I much prefer this, actually! Having worked in the open in a chilling strong wind of -16°C in Bavaria years ago, I was finally convinced that winter really is something that's nice only on kitschy postcards. Being able to bend your fingers is a skill I don't like losing! The flip side is that this here region has lots more rain. It may come as a surprise that clouds in continents leak less, but that's weather! 🤷‍♂
    And, well, Northern Germany also has a more oceanic climate, obviously, consisting mainly of coast. So despite being closer to a pole, their climate is more moderate than Bavaria's. You don't want to wear too thick clothes there in winter storms either, or you'll find yourself in Poland before you know it.
    Enough talk about friggin' winter. If we keep thinking of summer it may return sooner! 🤗

    Funnily enough, the weather up north is actually a lot less cold and more moderate than the weather down south. I think it's the proximity to the sea that makes the climate more temperate by comparison, I mean if you think about it, the UK is also north of germany and it's warmer.

    Es gibt kein schlechtes Wetter, es gibt nur unangemessene Kleidung. Da muß man nur jemanden fragen, der in Sibirien wohnt. ;)
    There is no such thing as bad weather, there is just inappropriate clothing. All you have to do is ask someone who lives in Siberia. ;)
