Hi Nammu. Yes, Czech Republic does get a good amount of snow in the winter. It hasn't snowed yet where I live, but you may recall that I did see snow in CZ already, but up in the mountains. Remember the little snow person I said looked like it was hitchhiking?
Evening lows have been just above freezing where I am. A little colder and there could be snow. The Feast of Saint Martin is on November 11. There are various stories regarding that saint, but one is that he rode a large white horse and brought the first snow of the season. So now people always wonder if Saint Martin will "ride in on his white horse" and bring snow.
Attached is a photo of my hubby skiing in Czechoslovakia (as it was still then) some years before he even met me or moved to the US. Last Christmas I bought him a whole new set of skis and ski boots (and a new ski outfit). He has not yet used them. Hopefully he will soon. He's not so athletic as he was in his youth

In any case, I don't ski. I just sit in the ski lodge drinking hot coffee or cocoa.
