What is brutal in Germany is not the cold, it is the many clouds. Last year I could make a day trip to Mallorca almost every week for 30 Euros. This year, with the test and the new airport it is 4 times as much.
If there is snow, go outside, when it is reallly cold, the snow is crunching under your feet, nothing better than going on a little walk, feeling the cold air on your face, and afterwards drinking a big cup of tea. You will not remember the darkness early in the day, but the clean air filling your lung. I love the feeling, even when it is -20° Celsius outside. Unluckily, rarely is a real winter outside nowadays. But for the rest, nice video! Greetings from Vienna
For me this winter feels a lot warmer than the usual german winters, because every morning when I go to the bakery I am reminded of my vacations in Cuba. Why? Because there's always a long line of people waiting outside with just one customer inside and newly arriving people asking who is the last in line. 😎
If your home has "radiators" (the big metal things) than it must be from the 1960s/1970s or older. Modern buildings have either floor heating or more advanced systems used in passive houses or similar highly insulated buildings. Nevertheless, usually the settings even on old systems don't require to be changed if the settings on the system and the radiators are done properly. Usually it is also more efficient to not constantly change the settings back and forth.
If you like it warm in the morning, you can buy electronic thermostates for your radiators. They can be programmed with several temperatures for different times of the day. You can buy them at any hardwarestore and you can exchange them by yourself. There is no need to turn of the system, simply exchange the handle all water bearing parts stay in place.

Another great thing to do in the winter is first go for walk, let's say for an hour or two then go to a "Thermalbad" enjoy the warm water. Afterwards you are probably very hungry so going in a nice restaurant to eat and maybe drink a glass of wine is the thing to do after the Thermalbad. Finally when you go home and relax on your couch feeling really cosy with the endorphins doing their job then comes the sad part of it, kind of. You're falling asleep. So try to enjoy this great "body feeling" as long as possible.
As a kid in November I built a snowman downtown. And me and my friends made some sleigh races. Our noses were frozen and we needed to wear really warm clothes. Today (when there is no Covid problem) You could visit a christmas market while wearing a T-Shirt.
Das mit den warmen Füßen kann ich nur bestätigen! Anfänglich merkt man es nicht sehr. Aber es friert einen schon mehr und schneller mit kalten Füßen. Omas selbstgestrickte Socken und Strümpfe sind ein gutes Mittel dagegen. Und man gibt einem alten Menschen eine Aufgabe. Man sollte sich für solche Socken stets bedanken und in den höchsten Tönen loben!! Probiert es aus, ihr werdet Socken haben, die sogar Schweißfüße verhindern! Was besseres gibt es nicht. Jedenfalls nicht in einem Kaufhaus. Und der Wert einem alten Menschen eine riesen Freude zu machen, das ist unbezahlbar.
Besonders Omas Strümpfe.. wie toll die sind (waren) weiß ich, seit dem sich auch das letzte Paar aufgelöst hat und ich absolut kein Händchen für Stricknadeln habe 😭
Hiya, I like warm "Körnerkissen" for my feet, when I go to bed. 2 min in a microwave and it's hot. I'm a little bit older and when my fingers get cold, it hurts my knuckles, so I wear gloves - if I take a walk with my dog, I use gloves without fingertips.
Unfortunately, it doesn´t help your TEETH to "survive". 8-/ Maybe more sweet FRUITS ? ^__^ (But they need to have warm Temperature, to be "inviting" enough.) :">
I'm sorry, but I find German winters super mild. But I am from the midwest, where it gets to be -50° in the winter. I sure don't miss that, and much prefer the Bavarian winters, which hover right around 0° celsius. ;)
German winters used to be cold, with the certainty of at least a few weeks of snow even in the valleys. But even so, in my nearly 50 years in Germany I've only seen temperatures of -20°C (-4°F) a few times. And for the last ten or fifteen years they've been even warmer, rarely staying below freezing all day long (at least here in central Germany). Most of the US is far colder in winter than most of Germany - except perhaps the southeastern states and southern California. Where I grew up - in Detroit - you could count on freezing weather for weeks on end at least (and 80-90° heat in the summer). Germany actually has quite a mild climate IMO. Those metal heaters are called radiators, by the way, and Glühwein is called mulled wine, and is made not just by heating red wine but also - and most importantly - by adding various spices. Bundle up but be cool! :-)
I must say as a Canadian in Germany now, people still judge me for walking around in a t-shirt while others are in full winter gear. But I feel ya, dark early and definitely getting cold
when it gets really cold in winter, I put on the old bundeswehr underwear, there is nothing "cuddly" like frotee-lined long johns and frotee-lined long-sleeved tshirts ...... incidentally, the tshirts are jokingly called BW-TENT, lined, mobile. and the long winter underpants go straight up to the armpits ,so the most important body parts are wrapped in several layers in this way
@@neevabee_ a little "useless" German military history .... when they talk of the military rebuilding during the reconstruction of germany, then of a "defense army", and the veterans developed the equipment. why does a defense army need winter protective clothing for temperatures as low as 70 degrees below zero as standard equipment ????
i grew up in Wisconsin and we had that. the upper midwest in the US has some of the biggest temperature changes throughout the year. 40C in the summer to -40C in the winter is quite common but it can easily be more. i don't know if Russia hits 40 in the summers, but I am sure parts of it does.
Yes, fuzzy socks are so comfi. Or if you want to drink tea all the time you can also drink a nice hot chocolate. Well, I do have Vitamin D deficancy anyway. I wonder, if the suppliment also really helps me not to get depressed this winter. This is not something that came up during my last doctor's visit.
@@neevabee_ Well, I can say, I don't have any muscle pain anymore (that is a sign of Vit D deficancy) since I take the suppliment. We'll see how the rest goes for me :-)
Amerikaner sprechen ja schon vom Winter, wenn die Temperatur unter 10 °C fällt. Ich habe aber schon Winter erlebt, wo es -15 °C mit Schnee auf Kniehöhe gab...
Good socks are amazing, and so important! My granny used to knit them, but no other female member of my family seems to know how to do it (or deny that they know, which is my suspicion), so I have to buy the industrial stuff. I don't think vitamin D supplements are really helpful. My preferred medicine against seasonal depression is St. John's Worth, or Johanniskraut in German. I'm taking it every winter with no ill effects so far. What this plant does is increase your sensitivity of light, thus increasing your natural vitamin D production. You can get various preparations at various (VERY various!) prices at pharmacies, and you don't need a prescription. I am German, but I hate that Glühwein. Why don't you drink a glass of red wine in the evening, like I do? There's the Rioja from Spain, the Bardolino or Chianti from Italy, both reminding me of vacations in a warmer climate. Or something non-alcoholic that reminds you of a warm place that you've been to. Like every time when I drink black tea with sugar, it reminds me of India, and the memories return. House plants sure are a good thing, but I can have only one, and it's a cactus. I tried others, but they were systematically destroyed by my cats. Which gets me to the point of pets: They keep you busy, and they can be comforting sometimes. I love my cats, all of them, although they're a bunch of marauders doing criminal things at unexpected times which would bring a human into jail. One last strategy I have to cope with winter depression is, I'm reading paper books. I can't get to grips with that e-book stuff, I want the feeling of a real book in my hands, even if it costs a tree in the Amazon forest.
Leider haben momentan wegen Corona alle öffentlichen Saunen geschlossen. Meines Erachtens gibt es nichts Besseres, um den Körper an unterschiedliche Temperaturen zu gewöhnen und das Herz-Kreislauf-System zu stärken.
Oh, come on. Vitamin supplements are unnecessary for most everyone. Spend time outside before it gets too dark, eat fish, eggs or cheese (or I suppose avocados for the vegans) during the winter. Unless you got some specific severe case this is just money thrown away. ... talking about light therapy though, get some apps/programs for your displays to get a nice daylight rhythm in accordance with what's happening outside.
Ich komm aus der Pfalz nähe Kaiserslautern. Höhe bei uns im Umkreis so 150-250m.Ernsthaft Schnee, ich sach mal über 2cm,liegt bei uns im Schnitt so 5 Tage im Jahr.Mehr ist da nicht.Kälter als 5- am Tag ist auch recht selten.Also für hartes Winterwetter muss man in Deutschland schon auf 600m+ rauf.Ansonsten ist da nix mit hartem " german" Winter.Da muss man schon aus etwa Kalifornien, Texas oder New Mexiko kommen um auf die Idee zu kommen der Winter in Deutschland sei sehr hart😏

I get through the winter by watching Neeva Bee 😊

I think if your feet are warm, then you will probably feel comfortable, but when they are cold, you will certainly notice it.

having a hot cup of tea on the coldest night is the best feeling :) really miss traveling to Germany and i enjoyed this video!
Yeees,.. ^__^ and steaming warm Soups or Meals in general. 8-P Gives Heat from within ! ^__^

The heating system you mentioned are called radiators.
If you dont live in the mountains, it is only for about 3 weeks frosty in Germany

You are lucky. About one year ago in germany houses were invented and some of them even have heaters!

Glühwein isn't just warm wine. I's also sweetened (usually with honey), and simmered with all kinds of different spices and orange slices.

We definitely need a houseplant tour video
You'll realize it's really cold when you have an icicle hanging off your nose.
But German winters don't get that cold nowadays any more...

Oh that sounds perfect!!
You forgot to mention "Süßigkeiten", also helping survive the German winter. 🤤😘
Most important if you ask me 😉

Welcome to Germany. We do global warming.
I just love your videos
You are gorgeous ❣️
"Survive"? You survive a East Antarctic Plateau winter, or a winter at North Ice in Greenland. In Germany it's just winter.
!!!!HEY!!!!
This is not London calling.
But a short :"i'm ok." especially those days, would be fine.

There is nothing like a real russian winter with temperatures below 40 degrees cenitigrade.

The heaters are called "Heizkörper"
or radiators in English.

With Johanneskraut you have to be careful because it might mess up the effects of some medications and also all the contraceptives based on hormones.
wear long thermal undies when temperature is in the minus 1° to minus 25° range. they are not cool but warm
Leider haben momentan wegen Corona alle öffentlichen Saunen geschlossen. Meines Erachtens gibt es nichts Besseres, um den Körper an unterschiedliche Temperaturen zu gewöhnen und das Herz-Kreislauf-System zu stärken.
Please suggest some good blankets and where to buy them
Did you discontinue making videos? What`s wrong? Or is some big event coming, that you indicated a few videos ago?
Kopf kühl Füße warm, macht den besten Doktor arm.
There's these things called thermostats.
Hey, it would really interest me from wich Country your viewers are coming from. Is it more from Germany than from the US?
If i go to bed with cold fett they will never get warm.
Es gibt kein schlechtes Wetter, nur falsche Kleidung!

There is no such thing as bad weather, just wrong clothes!

No she means Radiators. The Heizung is the complete system. These massivs metall things on the walls are radiators.
She mean Heizkörper
