I’m curious as to what it’s like, does it snow a bunch or just a couple inches?

Growing up in KS, I found the winters quite bearable. Now Korea was another thing.

Where in Germany? It matters for the response. Heidelberg/Mannheim got lighter snows. Villsek, Graf, Baumholder, K Town saw more. If you are in Northern Germany supporting a NATO op, could be worse.

two years in Berlin, Not as bad as where I live in North Idaho. Cold wet, Some snow that didn't last to long. Mostly that wet-cold that just chills you to the bone when your out training.

More rain than snow.
But that rain is cold and miserable. Plan accordingly to stay dry, or field exercises can really suck.

Cold, miserable and damn near continuous rain, especially Baumholder, year round

I didn't find the winters while I was there unbearable; I considered them comparable to what I grew up with in Montana.

The Bavarian Alps have some of the highest mountains in the world. There a glaciers there. 12 foot high snow on flat ground. Third floor have door opening out into the air in case they have to get out to ski. here's a selection from various locations.
