Snow Day!

I don't envy you, and I seriously hope nobody will be cut from power or have a car accident!

Having said that, whatever meteorological phenomenon is making you suffer, it provides for an extremely mild (though quite stormy) winter here in Northern Germany. For the weekend, temperatures as high as +15° C, which would be the highest February temperature ever recorded, are expected. For reference - this time last year, the Alster lake inside Hamburg was frozen so solidly that it was opened to public access.

For Northern Germany, the winter is predicted to be over. Not really feeling like spring, though, just temperatures around +5° C. So far, the winter has been 2.2°C warmer than average.
