Weather experience:Good StarStarStarStar

In the morning it was foggy but by noon at the latest it opened up. We had mostly blue skies and sun but also rain on some days. Fine as far as I'm concerned and with a good coat and hat and mittens just fine.— This text is automatically translated to English
