    That’s the exception, not the norm. I’m closing in on 50 and the Alster being frozen so thick that you can safely walk on it was always something special. Besides, with climate change you get more extreme weather and not just warmer weather.

      Hmmm just had a look at the years. Seems making it a big thing with stands etc. only became a thing in the 70s (before was post-war and before that they kept it open for shipping), then it happened a lot, and now it doesn’t.

      We really didn’t have a proper winter in ages though. Temperatures like this and colder were normal 30 years ago, not the exception, and “winters” like the last one completely unheard of.
