Gear Up for Snowy Week Ahead!
Brace yourself for a snow-filled week as weather forecasts predict more fluffy white stuff, particularly in mountainous regions. On Monday, a low-pressure system will bring rain and snow to Germany, with snowfall expected in the western low mountain ranges and mainly rain in the lowlands, according to DWD meteorologist Felix Dietzsch.
As the new week begins, the mountains will witness continuous snowfall, while lower altitudes will experience a lively mix of rain and snowfall, especially below 400 meters. Towards the east, the snow line will dip lower. Heavier snowfall, up to 15 centimeters, is expected in the western mountains, and even areas outside the low mountain ranges should see a bit of snow cover.
It's a chilly outlook for Tuesday night, with temperatures below zero, and where precipitation remains, it will be snowfall. The arrival of another low-pressure system on Wednesday will bring snow and sleet, especially to the center, so remember to wear your winter gear.
Central to the DWD's forecast? A potential prolonged wintry episode. This might mean problematic conditions due to snow, ice, and slippery roads during the morning rush hour. So, bundle up and stay safe, folks!
