Hello,
you don't have to expect much snow in Köln, not even in January. Köln and the city regions belong to the "warmest" areas of Germany in Winter. The average temperature in January is around 2°C (but that is, of course, the mean value of day and night time temperatures. So over the day it will normally be between 4 - 8°C)
By train it will take you 70 to 95 minutes from Köln to Frankfurt. Going to Berlin would take you a bit more than 4 hours.
