We also had a decent amount of snow around here since late Wednesday/early Thursday. About 20-25 cm of snow, quite unusual in recent times. Other regions in Germany were hit harder, especially the South. Everything came to a standstill there…

The ice situation sounds bad. Sand works well, as do ashes in case you’re having a fireplace in your home… or sawdust.

I actually enjoy walking around in the snow, but hate the driving/traffic experience it creates. Yesterday I almost couldn’t get out of my garage due to lots of frozen snow. So I’m not too sad about the increasing temperatures promised in the weather forecast for next week… The only problem then will be the high amount of water everywhere.
