| The winter of 2005-2006 arrived early, was very cold ans lasted a long time.
The first frosts of the year arrived mid-November, and with the exception of a few days in the beginnings of December and the middle of February, lasted until the middle of March.
It was so cold, the thermometer on December 30th dipped below minus 15 degrees Celsius (5°F). There were frequent, although not very abundant, snowfalls that barely covered the ground.
It was also quite a dry winter. In March there was some rainfall, followed by a mild April. May brought storms, which increased the threat of mildew. |
