Berlin winters ... mild?
4 comments

Bigger concern is the long nights in winter (but long days in summer). But plenty of European cities have overcast issues in winter anyway.

All depends where you're coming from. w.r.t weather, I found winters in Toronto less depressing than Paris because Toronto at least had clear skies.

Yes, we've lived here since 2013 and there has been maybe a week of snow per winter (it was above freezing the rest of the year). It is almost unheard of to have icey roads and sidewalks (which was normal every winter when we lived in Austria before that).
That used to be normal in Berlin too 10+ years ago.

The last couple of years barely had any snow though.

Yes they are mild. A winter in Berlin matches late fall in Warsaw.
Berlin has a winter?
A few days. But the sun still rises confusing people in Berlin that are from Northern Europe.
Ah, you mean it has autumn!
