The skiing season officially started on December 30 at one of the most popular Czech skiing resorts, Špindlerův Mlýn in the Krkonoše Mountains. The season started very late this year due to the warm temperatures and almost no snowfall before the end of December. Some new snow fell after Christmas when temperatures finally dropped below zero, which also enabled the resort to cover the slopes with artificial snow.
Many other Czech skiing resorts are still closed or are open only partially. The skiing season in Czech mountains typically starts around the end of November.

True, it was freezing last night and the weather forecasters did predict the possibility of snow showers for the whole country, even in low elevations, even in Prague. But this is very early in the year and I didn’t believe we’d actually see snow before 
October has been wonderful this year. We’ve had a lot of sun and blue skies and very little rain. It has also been much warmer overall than you would expect at this time of year. You still see people walking around in short sleeves. Just two days ago, a 165-year old temperature record was broken in Prague where the temperature was measured at 20.6°C (69°F).
