Depends on what part of the States, haha!
I'm in Lower Saxony, which in itself has different climatic conditions, depending on the region. I am living very close to the Harz Mountains with the "Brocken" as the highest peak (alt of 3,743 ft). (The Brocken is the mythological meeting point for all things witchy, btw.
)
My biology teacher always used to say that those living in this region are rather privileged, as we are not subject to any climatic extremes or prone to any natural catastrophes. We have very distinct seasons, summers with an average temp of about 75.2° (but it can get as high as 86°), and winters with days as cold as -4° and more, and lots of snow. (Although the climate has changed in the past 25 years - nowadays, the winters are more rainy, muddy, and warm whereas the summers are more rainy, muddy, and cold...)
Here's a link to wiki for anyone interested to come and visit... hey, don't forget to drop me a line if you do

Pics - I will see what I already got and make some for you this weekend and upload them in the photography section
