Mecklenburg-Vorpommern's White Magic Continues
Snowflakes have painted Mecklenburg-Vorpommern's landscape with a brilliant white, enchanting locals and visitors alike. With more snow on the way, according to the German Weather Service (DWD), these chilly days have become a winter wonderland.
On Tuesday, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern can anticipate several centimeters of fresh snowfall, maintaining a spellbinding scene. Temperatures will hover between -2°C and 0°C, making navigating the impending black ice a necessity. While snow clearance services will continue their tireless work on Wednesday, anticipate lighter snow as it begins to ease up.
