So the 1st quarter of the year is already over and the time
change has been late this year as well. Usually taking place
around the 25th of March, the clocks are set one hour for-
ward again. But maybe soon for he last time.

We all know it from our childhood: Christmas was
often the time where we looked forward to fool
around in the snow. But with ongoing time the
temperatures were no longer allowing snow.

The weather has somehow strange flows. While in 2012
the May-weather has spiked into 30-degrees regions,
in 2013 the tmperatores have mostly stayed below 15
degrees celsius which is far below the average medium.

As if the gray weather wouldn’t be annoying enough, the weather
forecast for the upcoming days isn’t as thrilling as expected. Snow
down to the flatlands isn’t what one is expecting towards June!
So hopefully the weather will change soon again!

Did the weather in the past weeks not look like wintertime (don’t tell me that
you consider 15 degrees celsius winterlike!) it is finally snowing again down
to 500 metres above sea level (the height level Bern is). But for how long will
the snow last and how long is the timespan until the next thaw time?

The winter is finally arriving in Europe, too. While signs two days ago pointed
to a green christmas time, it seems now as if the nature’s white blanket is most
likely to stay. As one of those people who like the four seasons, I am pleased
to see that weather’s like what it should be in December.

Someting that can be considered quite rare these days is, when snow comes
down in October. Much rarer when the amount of snow hits 15cm within one
night. Exactly this has happened this night. Now one could say: “Nothing
special, happens often at my place” – But is yours only 550m above sea level?

The sky is gray, the temperature far below “cozy” outside, not much snow and the obligate
lateness of some public transportation vehicles due to some technical glitches such as
blocked doors, non-working panels, and outside, the track switches. Seems, that’s most
common for wintertime. Anyways it’s about to get warmer in the upcoming week.

It seems that the winter finally wants to show teeth to us. Has the January been too warm
(approx. 4 degrees over the average meridian), so are temperatures rarely breaking the
-10 degrees barrier in the upcoming days. Metereologists say it isn’t too uncommon for
February to be that cold, however it is uncommon after such a warm January.

The weather in Switzerland could not be more different. While
villages in higher regions are almost cut off from the rest of the
country due to heavily snow-blocked roads, in other regions a
storm called “Andrea” brought rain and heavy winds.

So it is winter… finally! Every year the people are hoping for snow for christmas here in Bern.
This year it’s a bit late as the last two days were the only days where we got 10cm of snow!
Although show is a synonym for delayed traffic, cars, busses, trams, no matter what, people
should usually know how to prepare for it and try to reduce delay times as good as possible.

Well, the weather is kinda odd this year. Horror news about increasing climatic temps,
more greenhouse gas effect and the ongoing pollution of the earth are probably the
cause for this year’s winter to start later. Or finally never… who knows. At least the
temperatures are rather mild for November. So hopefully winter will still come.

You all know this. It’s around mid of November and the environment
starts to be everyday in grey. Cold temperatures of about 5
degrees, fog, moist and slippery sidewalks make you wanna
sleep all day long. Also it’s the time where the most projects run.

Impossible, you say? Well, seems not. In Switzerland at higher exposed locations, the
temperatures have dropped below zero. Snow fell down under 1000 metres and in some
locations, the fresh snow amount was 70 cm and up. A cold wave from the north brought
polar air to the south over Europe and temperatures have dropped by 15 to 25 °C.

Well… looks like the summer is slowly passing as today it was rather cold. The weather
forecasts brought up that in the eastern parts of switzerland, snowfall border has
lowered to a mere 1000 metres above sea level. This meant chaos at Gotthard- and
Sustenpass (which connect central switzerland with Ticino / Italy) where travellers

Just 2 days ago I juiced out at 34 °C barely knowing how to cool down except to take a cold
shower or drink cold water and today the news spread that temperatures may fall by 20 °C
that also leads to snowfalls in the more exponented areas such as mountain passes or higher
situated villages such as Davos for example.
