"Does it snow here in winter?"

Translation: 这里在冬天下雪吗？

[ZhuXudong]

what's wrong with 这里冬天下雪吗

[AbunPang]

Does it sound natural with 在 to Chinese ears? It sounds rather odd to me but maybe it’s a dialect difference between Taiwan and the Mainland…

[KQin2]

I am a Chinese on the main land, and exactly 这里在冬天下雪is really little strange.

What about 这里的冬天下雪吗？, Is this one correct?

在这里 is fine but 在冬天 sounds strange to me (non-native learner on the mainland)

[beaudanner]

我也觉得“在”冬天很奇怪

[jamtintraders]

I thought the above looked weird so I answered with 冬天在这里下雪吗. Would it have also been ok? Anyone know?

[hougineer]

冬天 and 这里 should be interchangeable, with the 在 optional.

[kokefdez33]

冬天在这里下雪吗 is alright too?

[Patrick_Dark]

"冬天的時候，這裡的下雪嗎？" ("When it's winter, does it snow?") has the same meaning and utilizes a grammatical format used in other exercises, so it seems reasonable to accept it.

[NathanRasm]

You've got an extra 的 there in the second half.

[deactivated user]

But it still misses the "here."

[NathanRasm]

這裡 is traditional characters for 这里

冬天在这里下雪吗？Is considered correct, but I don't really understand why the given answer is grammatically correct.
