Preparing for a Chill in Sauerland and Eifel: First Snow Hints Appear
As we step into winter, the potential for the first snowfall to grace Sauerland and Eifel regions is on the horizon, according to forecasts. Jana Beck, a meteorologist at the German Weather Service in Essen, shared this news on Wednesday, hinting at a temperature drop triggering a touch of snow at altitudes as low as 400 to 500 meters heading into the weekend.
However, Beck cautions that while we could see a few flakes, it's unclear if any substantial precipitation will occur or how long it will stick around. No need to celebrate just yet, winter sports enthusiasts!
There's a chilly night ahead for mountain-dwellers, with temperatures plunging to -5 degrees Celsius at heights above 4,921 feet with only warmer days reaching a meager 2 to 3 degrees during the day. Timid day-trippers and locals are advised to brace for slippery roads due to freezing rain.
Weather experts at "wetter-sauerland.de," boasting a network of weather stations in the area, have taken this optimistic forecast up a notch. They're anticipating heavy snow showers until Sunday, with potential snowfall amounting to 20 centimeters around the Kahler Asten and even a dusting below higher altitudes.
But, pause your winter sports fantasies! Susanne Schulten, spokesperson for Wintersport-Arena Sauerland, warns that the unpredictable weather forecasts have held off opening the first lifts. "A proper start to the season filled with enticing options is yet to materialize," she stresses. Many ski resorts, eateries, and accommodations are still in winter preparation mode.
And don't let the looming snowfall make you overlook the challenges awaiting weekend activities, as slippery roads due to freezing rain remain a hindrance. For the winter sports fanatics, patience is still your companion, as openings with suitable snow coverage are unlikely.
