Liselotte,

     Will that snow stay for the winter, or will it melt?  As for our cold spells, from late fall till early spring, when a cold front goes through, the air behind it often gets very dry.  That allows our night temperatures to really fall.  The normal winter low here in January is about 39° F [4° C] but in the time I have lived here, I have seen it as low as 12° F or -12° C.

      Last night, we had a big soaking rain.  A cold front has come through, and the temperature has gone down a good bit.
