December Waterfalls - Murren and Lauterbrunnen Region

Hello! I'm looking for some guidance on easy waterfall hikes in mid-December in the Lauterbrunnen region. I'll be staying in Murren, but realize the cold weather can impact the flow of water (Trummelbach Falls will not be open in December). Would love some recommendations - thanks!

You can walk the valley floor from Stechelberg to Lauterbrunnen, about 4 miles if you start at Hotel Stechelberg. There are several minor falls in addition to the bigger ones, Staubbach (nearest Lauterbrunnen) and Mürrenbach (near Stechelberg). Flow will be impacted by precipitation and temperature, of course. Is it wet and raining and above freezing or so cold the falls freeze? Either way they are stunning.

There are also falls visible as you ride the train up to Wengen from Lauterbrunnen.
