Seen both in Germany. I prefer snow. Snow is annoying and kills more people in Germany than tornadoes, but it happens more often and the danger of snow is scaling inverse to quantity. One snowflake causes strangely more damage than half a meter of snow in the flat land. OK, I prefer Tornadoes.
Well, as someone who lived ina reas where you had like half a meter of snow in one day I always come to the conclusion that the problem is not the snow, but how the people aren't prepared or how our railway system struggels with a few centimeters of snow.
I especially love the news reports: "10 centimeters of snow! Is the world going to end?" Well, it's January what do you expect?
