Snow in November

It is unusual to get much snow in Ittigen, and when a couple inches does fall, in usually melts within a couple of days. But this year, in late November, we got 4 or 5 inches of snow and it stayed for a couple of weeks. The temps were as low as 5 degrees or so, which is quite cold for here. We lost the snow a week or so before Christmas, but then happily it snowed on Christmas eve. Swiss friends told us that it is rare for them to have a white Christmas in Ittigen/Bern.
