Of course, that was just a taster, Frau Holle… wasn’t it?
On Friday, many Berliners found their car with white windows for the first time. It had snowed. Little, but still.
The BZ immediately asked online: Do you think it’s good that it snowed? 59 percent of Berliners said: Yes to Frau Holle!

A few snowflakes can still fall on Saturday, too, which the meteorologists call “slight snowfall”.
But they do not give hope for tobogganing fun in autumn. “Winter is only a flying visit,” says Lars Kirchhübel from the weather forecast center of the German Weather Service (DWD). “In Germany, a lasting snow cover can only be expected at higher altitudes or in the north-east.”
