Frankfurt has also been affected by the storm, with record low temperatures of -15ºC and maximum temperatures during the day of -5ºC. For example, today I was walking in the city centre at 4pm and the temperature was -6ºC. I have never lived in a place with such low temperatures, but it seems I am getting used to it. For the following week, the forecast expects minimum temperatures of -4ºC and I find them warm!!!!!!! I wonder how I will react to positive values in temperatures, after more than one week without them.
These low temperatures has frozen the snow fallen one week ago, as you can see in this picture of the Oppenheimer Platz:
To make the situation funnier, I switched off the central heating before going to Spain for Christmas holidays; just imagine how I found my apartment when I came back, two weeks later. What a stupid idea, to tell you the truth... Now, things are better, but the first night was simply horrible, I had to sleep under a number of blankets, with my socks on,...In Spain, the situation has been critical during the weekend, with important snows and a lot of problems in the airports, the roads and so on. This picture was taken by my parents on Friday morning:
Wow, I had never seen so much snow at home. It seems this storm is leaving Europe, so in a few days, everything will come back to normality.
