Hi Max, Yes, in the valleys we do usually have snow from mid-December through the end of March, sometimes into April. In the hills the snow season is longer. This said, we usually also have a 5-7 thaw around the 20th of January. The snow varies from year to year, of course. The earth stays cold until around 5-8 June, though. J.
