How often do you get ice days in winter? I'd think that you'd get much more than majority of northern Italy (except the higher elevation areas) due to your elevation.
It's currently -9c in Zagreb at 19:44 after a high of -5c today. A thaw is expected tomorrow afternoon and then a big and very quick snowstorm on Friday.
Actually not. In practice really cold waves usually arrive in here moving from east to west, so from the Po Valley toward the mountains. My Valley is a quite long and narrow one, and for air masses arriving from east it is not easy to enter the valley and reach the mountains. So my Valley is usually hitter only marginally by those cold waves.
Also, my place is really prone to foehn wind effect, which rises temperatures in the weirdest moments. So real ice days are quite rare at my elevation (my reference weather station is at about 500 m), and really often places like Turin have colder days than us (it can be also related with temperature inversion phenomena).
On the other hand, when it is going to snow (perturbations often arrive from west) the situation is the opposite: as anyone would expect, temperatures decrease with altitude and the mountains favor stronger precipitation.
So, in comparison with Turin, during the winter we have less really cold days (= much colder than average), much less fog and much more snow
The office is now panicking, though it won't settle.
