Do I have to pack my thermals for Munich? I'm in Nottinghamshire at the mo' and it is snowing and freezing cold; I'm thinking this is just acclimatization for next week.
yeah its pretty cold here at the moment and will be for the foreseeable future at least. It can stay chilly until the end of March. The temperature isn't so bad now (around 0) but its a British style grey cold that feels colder than it actually is, so to speak - so right up your street probably. The houses are warmer over here though!
