Snow falls on first day of spring in much of Germany
Germans across the country noted the irony of white winter weather on the official first day of spring.
Berlin in particular turned into a vast snowscape, with all parts of the city from Treptower Park to Alexanderplatz coated in a growing amount of white.
The day has a historic average temperature of 8 degrees, according to Accuweather.com, in contrast to today's high temperature of 3 degrees and low temperature of -4 degrees.
