Few Accidents Despite Icy Conditions - Police Report Calm Night - Unexpected calm as snow blankets Lower Saxony and Bremen overnight
Lower Saxony and Bremen experienced a surprisingly calm night despite icy roads and fresh snowfall. Emergency services reported few incidents, with no major disruptions or serious accidents across the region.
Overnight, the area remained quiet even as temperatures dropped and snow continued to fall. A spokesman for the Oldenburg police noted that the number of accidents was unusually low for such conditions. Most incidents involved only minor collisions, with no reports of severe damage or injuries.
Bremen’s fire department also described the night as uneventful. No significant traffic problems or unusual emergencies were recorded. The relative calm came ahead of forecasts warning of heavier snowfall on Friday. Schools in parts of Lower Saxony have already closed due to persistent snow and icy surfaces. The German Weather Service predicts further snow showers throughout the day, with sleet or rain possible near coastal areas. Strong winds and blowing snow are also expected to create difficult travel conditions.
The region’s emergency services and police handled a quiet night, with only isolated minor incidents reported. However, worsening weather later in the week may bring fresh challenges as heavy snow and high winds move in.
