#Snow #Germany #Winter
I hope normal snowy winters are coming back...
I lived for many years in Colorado where it snowed every Winter. I eventually moved to the Southern Midwest where snow is rare. These days, if I could afford to live there again, I would not hesitate to move back to the Colorado high-country again because I miss those beautiful snowy evenings (now that I'm retired and don't have to work outside anymore 😂)
I live on Bodensee...and it is AWESOME snow, everything looks absolutely gorgeous. I hope part of the lake freezes this year, so we can get some ice skating in.
And all the trains out of Singen and Radolfzell are cancelled... But for some reason, Swiss trains are working on time.... Interesting
Love the Bodensee...how lucky you are. Glückspilz!
Just saying you live on the Bodensee is just rubbing it in all our faces.
Yes, like in my childhood, ice skating in the harbor, or in Mauracher Bay, sledding, to Heiligenberg for skiing and cross-country skiing. Long ago sighs. Greetings neighbor
❤Bodensee
I'm in Radolfzell, too! Gaienhofen, actually, but soon to move back to Rado. We are on a hill above Hermann Hesse Haus, and the road is like a sheet of ice right now, are the roads alright in town?@@ddotduval
I understand it's a hassle and I hope no one gets hurt, but it hasn't properly snowed in Zagreb for years and a part of me would love for that to happen here 😅
Welcome to the polar club, Germany. From your friends in 🇨🇦. Please be safe.
Except vancouver😂
@@Eric-lx8hpand the GTA and southern Ontario.
@@Eric-lx8hpVancouver doesn't even have snow on the mountains yet.
Here in Austria we already have 2 meters 🥲 the meteorologists say that it will get worse, tonight we will have -16 C which is normal for the Alps but not here in the city, anyway greeting from Bad Ischl 😁
That was normal weather, when i grew up there in the 60's and 70's. It'll be melted in a few days, no worries..
We will have -15 C at night and max -4 at day and the cold is expected to get worse 😅 at least here in Austria
Lucky you. I don't even remember what it's like to have snow in December anymore. Nothing more cozy than having snowy Christmas holidays.
Ja.
Have you seen the freezing of New York last winter? Pictures like that not even made in Sibiria where the permafrost is melting and a natural methan spring looks like a volcan breake
@@NPCONSULTING247-jy3pz New York experiences occasional heavy snowfall owing to the lake effect of the Great Lakes. Hardly permafrost, since it's usually gone just as quickly as it comes.
Fifty years ago we got married on December 1st with snow on the ground. No snow on that day ever since except this year we had a celebratory fifteen minute snow shower.
@@peabase I saw the pictures last year
Underground waterpipes went broken?
Breaking: For once we actually have a normal Winter, snow isn’t a complete myth anymore
Except this isn't normal either. In Munich, since the 50s there have been only two cases with more snow than now.
Oh don’t worry we are back at 10 degrees in two weeks again. Wonder what people will say then
It seems like the people with sleds were expecting it to happen.
Weather is unpredictable, snow in winter is not though. So yeah..
I'm not disagreeing that snow isn't unusual, it snowed in northern Germany this time last year too. Nevertheless, it's still autumn.
@@mariannetindall58583rd of December is not autumn anymore 🤔 in some regions of Germany it would be normal to get snow from beginning- middle of November.
@@Domi3454 Winter starts on December 21st. Snowy christmases were never typical for Germany or Czechia. Deciduous trees in Prague are still green, now just under 15cm of snow. That is insane.
@@serebii666 That's true for the astronomical definition of the season, but winter weather comes to Central Europe well before that date. The meteorological winter starts on December 1.
@@mariannetindall5858 The meteorological winter starts on December 1.
The same last year.
Less travelling during winter. It will be extreme.
FYI: Snow in itself is not a problem in Bavaria. The problem is that it was relatively much in a relative short period of time, especially for Munich where the is usually not that much snow.
I life roughly 60 Miles southeast of Munich and we didn’t hat that much disruption. Major Roads where clear, only neighborhood streets are still kind of snowy.
3 cm of snow? Thats a warm day in Scandinavia =P
40* cm
@@silviach ok so a normal day in Scandinavia... :P
Germany is so lovely when it snows :)
Years back similarly I was stuck in Heathrow, London and when I fell asleep in the waiting chair and a few hours later there were people from the whole town around you sleeping on the floor and stuck due to climatic conditions, most of the restrooms were occupied, and it is a nightmare for the passengers who get stuck at the airport.
Those in the United States that get stuck in the airport due to poor weather conditions know exactly what to do - they 'melt-down' and go berserk . . . much to the entertainment of other travelers and chagrin to their travel companions 😂
@@WarHawk- yes they also walk towards highway and ask for ride to the trucks.
This used to be normal winter weather i fail to see anything extreme.
are you from munich im gona check if this is normal wether in munich.
Have a look at the sea temperature and land temperature charts for 2023. Failing to see is a failure to look, dude. The charts show climate (you are acquainted with weather) and the climate is changing. Jack Nicholson was right, we can't handle the truth.
It never snowed 40cm (16 inches) in 24 hours in Germany. Of course we'll cope with it, but that was a lot a once.
Well, that is the problem. It used to be normal winter weather. Except, that now, it is no longer normal winter weather.
@@hape3862It never snowed that amount of snow in the *city of Munich* (in 24 hours), but Not entire Germany. In the Alpine Mountain region or parts of the Sauerland 40cm per 24 hour occur nearly every winter.
It is winter time. So much fun in the Snow.
Send some our way..... we've still had no snow in north central Alberta..
Save Elroy
What month was this?
It looks heavy
Here in Bad Ischl in the Salzkammergut area in Austria we got 2 meters (6,9 feet) of snow just after a night of snow 😅
omg that sled kid at 0:19 slammed into snow into a full scorpion position! poor little fella haha
Meanwhile, in Frankfurt. We have sunshine and only snowed for 1 day.
Here in Österreich 🇦🇹 we have already a stand of 2 meters of snow in Bad Ischl and tonight we will have -16 C it is expected to get worse we also will have another couple of days of extreme snow we didn't had electricity for 36 hours 😢
I love snow, I hope for an snowy Christmas too!
There is nothing extreme here, it's normal winter...
How is the weather in Regensburg?
20 cm of snow is extreme winter 😂.
I am finnish my work since Saturday morning,till now i stuck in Munich city centre no train or bus to go outside Munich ,i live in Ebersberg
Back in early January 2011 we have massive amounts of snow, we had 22 ft deep snow in 56 hrs . You had to dig a tunnel to get out of your house, luckily as we dug tunnelling for such as walking my dog we had Google maps to use for directions. Snow drifts reached over 90 ft. The full town had a snow tunnel system Eventually by mid May it had all melted. Upto now we haven't had any snow issues,, yet, stay safe, keep warm.
Where was this?? Now your situation seems abnormal.
So a normal winter.
Love this weather!
It's weekend after all - just stay home and keep the fire going...
Winter energy bill is going to sky rocket, with cheap Russian energy having being cut off. No ?? 🧐😕😟☹
@@alexlong3714 No, our gas storage facilities are filled to the brim (they would last for 3 months if the supply were suddenly cut off). Inflation and energy prices continue to fall and have almost reached pre-war levels. For example, just yesterday I received a letter from my electricity supplier saying that they are reducing the price of a KWh by 10 cents in January. That means an electricity bill of €80 a month for me (before the war it was €70) - nothing the Germans can't cope with, after all we are one of the richest countries in the world.
Obky 2 Dec and so much snow already - that should signal concerns over climate change. In Sydney Australia it's beginning of summer but we have big storms and rain then heat waves (40C)
I would never have guessed that you could get snow in winter. Thank you for informing us of this devastating blow to the world.
For your info, Munich hasn't seen this much snow since they started keeping records. 44 cm of snow is even exceptional for New York City, which is subject to the lake effect of the Great Lakes. Murican much?
@@peabase "Schneemaggedon" is what I would call the snow storm of November 16-18? 2022 when up to 81cms of "lake effect" snow got dumped in upper NY state just south/east of Lake Ontario (Hamburg, Orchard Park, NY) . You could barely see out of some first floor windows. Snow up to your waist blacking exits out of garages. Snow plows stuck. And it is absolutely NO FUN driving in it!! You hit a wall of snow coming down, Then find yourself sandwiched between two tractor trailers going 5-10kmph through "cow path" ruts along the interstate for miles. Such are winters in the "great white north".
Here in Austria we stayed for 36 hours without any electricity it's not normal at all, we reached 2 meters of snow in a matter of hours 😅 we had a storn with thunderstorms which is also extremly unusual in winter
@@maxineporter8848 Oh, I've experienced a badly snowed-under Manhattan, and I'm not easily perturbed by snow -- I was born smack on the Arctic Circle. However, in NYC snow comes quickly and goes quickly. In the Arctic, the first snow falls in September and the last bits melt in June. It tends to pile up, too. One and a half metres is pretty normal and that's for months on end.
Wish all the Germans a safe and happy festive season, whilst one sits on a balmy tropical beach enjoying a g&t.
Dang
Elroy is waiting in Kerala
Meanwhile in Cologne. 0 snow.
isnt snow common is germany why are people supriesed?
Not anymore, the last white Christmas was in 2010 except for those near the alps
It's wintertime, so what 😅
Were they surprised by the snow? Does it not snow in Germany in Winter then?
Switzerland laughs in the comment section+ :D
I think if there is white snow, there will be better weathers and climate in the future for those regions.
Funny eh. And the western side of the country didn’t see much snow for longer than 15 years
I have seen green aurora borealis, now I want to see the red ones
Caos in Munich, or a normal winterday as we say in Scandinavia…😉😀
Always the first one of the year sucks people will get used to it like it is every year
Definitely not Chinese pollution no that’s normal 😂
Snow still exist eh...
Normal day in Canada
Should learn from norway ;)
Anyone else see the one kid at 0:19 faceplant?
Why does the correspondent have an English accent, but not the German which is much better?
Meanwhile Im in Costa Rica surfing with temperatures over 30 degrees Celsius 😁
Thanks, but not for me. Winter has to be white and cold outside and warm and cosy inside our homes❄️⛄
В прохладе у мне легче работается
I just got back from the Pacific side and was double overhead for a week!
Zauberei und h.???
If I remember right, the red auroras are bad. Something to do with slower, but heavier penetration of the atmosphere by solar radiation coming into contact with oxygen.
I hope they enjoy their electric cars 😅
54 seconds in, only Germany would shut down an ICE train during a snow storm! 😇
Why is Germany getting the snow? Canada is not getting anything and it’s almost Christmas, It’s not Christmas without snow. I feel like I’m just laughing at my country’s misery, That’s a new low for me.. 😂
Stop dubbing.
Tiny bit of snow
Well we live in a ice age that will get warmer until it will we get a new ice age that will will be much colder. Nothing special
Lol… yea snow in december in germany…. How extreme hahahaha. The news made a bigger deal about it than the people stuck at the airport. Looks like most people had a blast in some wonderful winter weather with some joyful sledding… but thats not a click bait head line i guess.
Its normal to have snow in germany in winter but it maybe the end of the world if singapore get to snow😂
Go to Snow City Singapore if you crave it so much.
"Now, we don't know what to do, either...", HA, HA, HA! Take a train? Hmmmm?
OK Germany, you have less than a fortnight to sort your roads out before I arrive for a motoring holiday. I have faith in you. 😁
In Minecraft yes this is extreme.For those who are spending 99%their time in not virtual reality this is jus casual stuff
They should all go to the park,
sledging in the hill instead.
Much better for the climate
and for the kids 🤣😅😀
Does Germany not have Weather Forecasts????? Meteorologists???
Quite normal for this time. Nothing special
So it appears the world is no longer boiling, oh its winter
Even after 50 years of debate some don't know the difference between climate and weather.
The world is big, as is all the data pointing to a big problem. It appears we can't handle big data loads. Have a look at the 2023 water and land temperature charts to see what is happening and not what appears so. The charts are climate. It appears we would rather a penny full of fairytale to a proper dose of facts.
Damn this global warming, we were warned but did we listen ???
Extreme heatwave and bow extreme winter. And the world leaders is still debating at the UN how to tackle climate change. Relax guys, planning is important. They will have new law by 2050 banning us from using plastic spoon. It will help of course
anyone see that frozen private jet at the dumb climate change meeting 😂
Türkiyedeki hiç kar yok.. Türkiye bahar mevsimi..... Hava sıcak
Well since the sun is in the Maunder Period, it’s going to be going to sleep for about 90-900 years and a new Ice Age is almost here. And anyone living more than 300 miles away from the equator, soon won’t be.
Thought Germany usually had heavy winters even in this day and age.
How come every time you mention Hamas you say "Hamas has been designated a terrorist organisation by multiple countries" but you never say after mentioning Israel "Israel has violated 28 resolutions of the UN Security Council" (which are legally binding on non member nations UN Charter Article 25 (1945)).
Collect the snow and send the water to drought stricken countries!
Is this the global warming i keep hearing about?
Actually, global warming increases the likelihood of heavy snowfall. As the atmosphere heats up, it holds more moisture. In the winter, the moisture comes down as snow. Keep learning.
@@peabase 🤣🤣🤣
Human/ must stay indoors, no need go outside;,,
Clever. The Scandinavians would have to hibernate all winter.
Clear signs of global warming…
COP28's president, Sultan Al Jaber: I’m not in any way signing up to any discussion that is alarmist. There is no science out there, or no scenario out there, that says that the phase-out of fossil fuel is what’s going to achieve 1.5C: There is hope, Adults have entered the room.
This global warming is getting out of control. Greta do something save the people from themselves
Damn global warming.....
I'm betting you wish your car didn't cost so much now. 🤣🤣🤣
You call that a snow storm?
It wasn't a storm, it just snowed 40cm (16 inches) in 24 hours.
Who said "storm"?
@@darrylrotrock7816 don't worry about it
Electric vehicles could run?
🤔🤐🤐🤐 Powered by Coal fired power generators. That is GREEN. ????
Yes they will.
Oh dear, this unavoidable disruption will not help
Chancellor Olaf Scholz serious economic problems.
We don't have any "economic problems". Germany's transition to renewable energies is a bit bumpy, but that was to be expected, wasn't it?
Climate change or misinformation?
Good thing you have plenty of solar panels to stay warm.
🤔🤐🤐🤐
We have Wind and hydropower as well, thanks 😊
Häh?
@@NicMediaDesign Wind power is mainly in northern Germany. South is solar. Good luck with having the infrastructure to transfer the power. Unless that four wind turbines at Starnberg and a few here and there can contribute anything meaningful to the grid...
@@NicMediaDesignYes wind and hydropower will help a lot. Germans don't make small mistakes... 😂

This is normal weather for Germany, but for some reason things are falling apart.

What happened to global warming?
It s winter
It puts more moisture into the atmosphere. In the winter, it comes down as snow. More snow than usual.
What does Greta say?
Stop global warming? The obvious eludes many.
Is that presenter German? Anyway, I thought climate change eliminated these anomalies. I’ll ring BBC for the low down.
