What’re winters like in Germany?

I spent two years in Manheim. The winters weren't bad. There were a couple storms, but the roads were cleared rather quickly. We did most of our field exercises in Grafenwöhr and it was FREEZING cold. Really cold.
One thing to note is there is not much on street parking in Germany so it's more preferred to use the Strauss(train) for transportation.
Germany is beautiful. Lots of castles. Excellent location to visit the rest of europe. The people are friendly and they speak english. I tried to learn as much German as I could to communicate with them better though.
While I was there there was a "Turk" problem. They didn't like the soldiers and there were frequent fights. Stay away from them and there's no issue.
If you're ever in Manheim or Heidelberg check out O'Reillys bar. I have my name on a plaque at both locations for drinking 100 pints in 2 weeks.

The last couple winters in Wiesbaden have been pretty mild. There is a few inches of snow every now and then, but I am able to run outside all winter without it being too painful.

The snow has an accent and a propensity to invade France

I think it depends on the region. At Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, the winters weren't all that bad when I was there. When it snowed, it was usually 3-4 inches

It gets very good, many areas have a lot of snow, my dad damn near froze to death in 44

It depends on where you go. but its not like your going to ft drum or anything. You will get a couple of snowstorms, but not a whole bunch. I spent 10 years over there, my most recent time i left in July 2018, in those 10 yrs, i think the most i ever saw at one time was about 6 inches. no big deal. But it will get cold, very cold.

I was stationed at Pirmasens, Germany. It snowed; and, was very cold. PFC (Join to see)

The likelihood of you being stationed at Garmisch in the Alps. Well that is 26 out of roughly 200000 to one, really they are none to none.

Now is Germany Cold, look at the lowlands of Washington State or Minnesota, Wisconsin etc. yes the UP of Michigan at times. Cold.

Having said that it is an amazing assignment living in an amazing culture. To top it off you are I the midst of multiple other coteries that are a days drive, souther Italy in two, the former eastern block on the Med Sea etc.
it is great, just get a Urail pass and go, take a battle buddy.

1973 stationed at Grafenwohr was very cold lot of snow and was a very active base 24/7 , was on a hawk missile base on the check border graf was home base

It snowed just about everyday during winter. It was a lot. It snows more in southern Germany.
