Some pictures I like

Even Rome is being sprinkled with snow (has only snowed there once before in 15 years I believe).

Other than getting around, I love this kind of weather. Last time I was in Netherlands and Germany in winter, it was between 0 and -8 and I was mostly being a tourist, walking around outside and seeing galleries and stuff, and I was never cold. Just take the right gear and you'll love it.

yeah we're ok with the cold. will have plenty of layers and we are pure tourists.

We have an apartment in Bellagio for 2 1/2 weeks.

we'll be doing day trips and walking around the town. maybe some over nighters to Switzerland or one of the other near by countries.

then 4 nights in Venice on the way back. was reading yesterday about the canals nearly freezing over.

DAMN YOU GLOBAL WARMING


Your being sarcastic for a very stupid reason FaceMan. A known side effect of global warming is ironically, this kind of cold snap in Europe.

Recent research published last month found a link between low levels of sea ice in the Barents-Kara Sea, north of Norway and Russia, and an increased probability of harsh winters across Europe such as the cold winter between 2005 and 2006. These sea ice declines associated with warmer oceans could triple the probability of cold winter extremes in Europe and northern Asia, according to Vladimir Petoukhov, lead researcher for the study, and a climate scientist at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany.

Yeah I fly out this Wednesday for a month in Europe. England -> Scotland -> Amsterdam -> Berlin/Munich -> Venice -> Florance -> Rome -> Malta -> Paris -> London, I don't mind the snow and cold weather doesn't bother me, it's the transportation I'm concerned about now.

Wifey and I were in Europe in Jan 2010 during the coldest winter of ~60yrs or something and it was awesome! Travelling around in snow and cold is the best particularly in places like country Ireland, Austria and northern Italy.

Eorl - where you at in Melbourne? A cold front is moving through this afternoon and tonight so temps should go down to a more normal low 20s for the rest of the week.. unless you're where I live at Olinda and it will be tops of 16-18 all week.

I agree, Spring and Autumn are the best, I hate the humid heat of summer, and miss the snow in England, but Spring and Autumn keep me here, well that and my daughters mother lives in here, and I though she doesn't mind me taking them to Europe for a month or so the year after next I think she'll mind if I moved there.

m3nt4l, I saw similar in the canals in Amsterdam one year - but that, right next to the ocean, is insane!

Fuck winter!

It only really snowed one day in the Netherlands, was hoping for more. This is an amsterdam canal on the day it did snow last friday. Really wouldnt have minded more of it :) Was tricky to get home though, a trip that normally takes 30 minutes took me 1.5 hrs to get home

Yeah transport chaos reigns supreme! Fortunately I live in zone 1 so hardly ever catch the tube. For me it's nice strolls in the snow!
