What’re winters like in Germany?

I spent two years in Manheim. The winters weren't bad. There were a couple storms, but the roads were cleared rather quickly. We did most of our field exercises in Grafenwöhr and it was FREEZING cold. Really cold.
One thing to note is there is not much on street parking in Germany so it's more preferred to use the Strauss(train) for transportation.
Germany is beautiful. Lots of castles. Excellent location to visit the rest of europe. The people are friendly and they speak english. I tried to learn as much German as I could to communicate with them better though.
While I was there there was a "Turk" problem. They didn't like the soldiers and there were frequent fights. Stay away from them and there's no issue.
If you're ever in Manheim or Heidelberg check out O'Reillys bar. I have my name on a plaque at both locations for drinking 100 pints in 2 weeks.

The last couple winters in Wiesbaden have been pretty mild. There is a few inches of snow every now and then, but I am able to run outside all winter without it being too painful.

I was stationed at Pirmasens, Germany. It snowed; and, was very cold. PFC (Join to see)
