Expect rain and snow. Sun worshippers will probably be disappointed, but for those looking for a winter atmosphere, it was absolutely enchanting.

LivIt was warm during the day, but got colder at night. We had a few rainy days, but also many clear days. Don't forget to bring a jacket for the evening!
