Pretty! Definitely not the first image I'd think of when I hear Spain.

Finally the very first snow of this winter here in Bremerhaven tonight.
It's light and barely a centimeter yet, but at least its here.

I took a walk around noon today, to enjoy the chilly winter air.
Temperature was about -9°C (15°F) then, this compared with a strong gusty eastern wind of 20 km/h (12 mph) on average and 50 km/h (30 mph) in the highest gusts.

The air was so cold that i even had some icicles in my beard, when i returned home afterwards.
Feels like temperature was close to -20°C i would say.
