    I think it depends on where you come from. I am from the sub-tropics and would probably have a really miserable time in Europe in winter. If you are used to cold and snow you could probably survive.
    The weather is unpredictable. Last year there was a sudden cold spell in mid-October with freezing temperatures, snow and blizzards. Then, in the first week of November there was an Indian summer for about 4 days before the cold weather returned.

    Here is a link to a 30th October news video of wintery weather across Spain:

    This is a link to a pilrim's blog on the Via de la Plata in late October last year:

    And November at O Cebreiro:
