From Thursday morning it has snowed intermittently up until this morning (Monday). This also happens to be the shortest day of the year (sunrise at 8:38 am, sunset at 3:56pm Central European Time, so after this point the days will start getting longer again!!! (tomorrow is one second longer according to Weather Underground)). With the overcast sky and low sun angle it only feels like a few minutes of daylight. It has been in the negative single digits (Celsius) for the last few days, but the next few days are supposed to get above freezing. The weather has caused quite a few problems across Europe (BBC news link and here).
Yesterday, T and I walked into town. It was very windy, blowing off of the lake. The water seemed to be warmer than the air so a think fog was forming over the lake and blowing off as ice dust. My beard has been getting frost and icicles frozen onto it when I go outside. Again, it feels more like upstate New York this year.
