Bizarro weather
I guess I can't claim to be an expert on Basel weather after only two years here, but since I'm a self-confessed weather geek, I can't resist the temptation to comment.
When people ask about winter in Basel, I tell them that it's generally gray and damp and chilly (just above or just below freezing) but seldom bitterly cold. This winter started that way, but for the past week or so it's been surprisingly (a) sunny and (b) cold, as in -12C (10F) first thing in the morning. The sun is a really nice treat, although the cold has been such that everything not in the sun is coated in the thickest, heaviest frost I think I've ever seen (although as a native Californian I can't claim extensive frost experience):
