ED in December?
Has anyone done a ED in the month of November or December? Besides needing winter tires, what else should I be aware of?

A couple of years ago, I did an ED for a buddy's M6 at the very end of October (I believe pick-up in Munich was Oct 30). Snow tires are required in Germany and Austria (I don't know about Switzerland) from Nov 1. We didn't put snow tires on, but headed south to Italy and the French Riviera. That area reduces the risk of bad weather quite a bit. Heavy snowfall in the Alps usually doesn't start until late-December or January. When I lived there many years ago, I remember that ski-able snow was always hit-or-miss for Christmas holidays. I'm sure our European members can elaborate more.

Ok. Thanks. I got my confirmed date for ED in Leipzig; November 2nd! Does anyone have any suggestions for ED in November.? The Ring is closed, so that's not a possibility. I am planning on going for about 10 days.

I'd head south. In 10 days you could do Venice, Sienna and back up thru Milan and Geneva for a Stuttgart drop off. I'm sure there'll be a lot of thoughts from others.

But heading South may be nicer...
Stuttgart is the planned drop off location.

November - the further south you go the better IMO

The problem with going north (Holland, Belgium, Normandy) that time of year is that it can be cold and damp. Very raw and not very pleasant. They don't get much snow up there, but the weather's not terrific either.
