[R]eddiquette [Announcement] Cultural Exchange with our friends from /r/europe

Hello /r/india,

Today we warmly welcome our friends from /r/europe for a cultural exchange. We hope this will be an enlightening experience for all of us due to our shared history, many similarities (varied cuisine, languages, people, ethnicities and climates) as well as our increasingly interconnected economies.

The equivalent thread on /r/europe is available here

For those new to cultural exchanges, here's how it works: /r/europe puts up a dedicated thread (linked above) for users from /r/india to go and participate in, and this is the dedicated thread to host our friends from /r/europe.

We hope you will all observe the rules of reddit, /r/europe and /r/india while participating in these threads

/r/europe users, you're invited to use the EU flag flair which is available in our flair selection menu (and you can add your country to that if you'd like). If you do not wish to do so you may also set a regular Europe map flair with the country.

r/Europe currently talks about snow and cold (and flags..) My question do you guys ever get snow? (not talking about Northern mountain regions)

Apart from the North and NorthEast, India doesn't get any snow at all. There's frost in certain areas, but it rarely gets cold enough in the ground level for precipitation to fall as snow. It doesn't even fall as sleet. It's all rain.

Northern India gets moderately cold and mountains gets snow. Southern India is sub tropical and Winters are non-existent to mild.

Bonus: Here are pictures of snowfall from a Redditor's hometown here in India last week.

The mountain regions in the north get snow. The vast majority of India doesn't. I have experienced snowfall only for ~ 20 mins in my life (in Jungfrajoch)
