Winter's First Kiss in Lower Saxony's Harz Mountains
Gather round folks, because the Harz Mountains in Lower Saxony just got a fresh, chilly smooch from Old Man Winter! But don't rub your eyes – it's true! Early this morning, the sharped-peaked mountains donned a crisp, thin blanket of snow. The ski slopes of its highest peak, the mighty Wurmberg, cradled the newfound snow like a proud grandfather.
The German Weather Service has graced us with good news, promising an increase in snowfall as the day progresses. The night leading to Saturday, those inland will be treated to a slow but steady dance of snowflakes from the sky. The Weather Service has also painted a chillingly beautiful picture of temperatures dipping down to a bracing five degrees below zero in the Harz Mountains.
Snow seems to be our new playmate, hanging around well into the weekend. Our meteorological friend from the German Weather Service was kind enough to mention a brief flirt with winter temperatures back on Thursday. It's not just the Harz Mountains blushing red this winter, as other low mountain ranges like the Sauerland have also been basking in the snowy embrace.
Remember, this information comes directly from the German Weather Service (Deutscher Wetterdienst, DWD), so get out there and enjoy Mother Nature's wintery fling before it's time to pack up and wave goodbye to jacket weather.
