This night was also windy weather here in NRW, Germany. Wind was so strong with rain that I thought that wind will blow out my windows.
Today is quiet, with usual overcast and the rain that falls every single day, gray weather as usual for this time of the year. I think I saw the sun 1-2 times in last month. :(
Last week we had 1 night and not full 1 day of snow before it melted and started to rain - again.
Temperature today as usual 5-6 degrees.
I feel with you !!

It's the same scenario up here in Stockholm (and I assume also Baltic Countries, Finland, West Russia and of course like you, in Germany) - just overwhelmingly dominated by constant overcast weather, with all the flavors that come with that weather type.
Also January has continued to go in the same line asDec 2020did in Stockholm with totally only4 hours, and so far inJan 2021only (preliminary)9.5 hours sunshine in total.
That is really "Not much to hang on a tree", is a Swedish saying (e.g. there is not much substance) and "Not much flesh on the bones" as my german grandmother Elfriede used to say.
Well dah... it really isn't.

冬天in Stockholm has been replaced
to my surprizee - with another period of mild weather up to 5°C / 41°F - so all snow is gone. We had at the most 14 cm snow in Stockholm - but nothing is left. A new period of freezing weather is underway, though. During the night, the water in streets and on walkways refreeze - making it highly treacherous to walk on.
The so called normalaverage maxtemperatures this time of the year in the City core of Stockholm (1960-91) is -1.0°C (30.2°F)and theaverage min -5.4°C(22.3°F) - and with that we are soon reaching the coldest period of the year - usually in the first week of February. Then the normal average temperatures starts to rise... Weeheeeee
