Overview
- Germany’s weather service has active yellow alerts for frost, snow and slippery roads, including a formal early‑morning ice warning on Thursday for counties in Lower Saxony and the city of Bremen.
- Mountain regions face the heaviest snow, with 10–15 centimeters widespread in the Hochschwarzwald and up to 20 centimeters in West‑stau locations, while parts of the Harz and other ranges also see several centimeters.
- Forecasters report flakes reaching lower elevations at times, with wet snow possible in northern lowlands and even near sea level in Schleswig‑Holstein, though lasting cover is most likely in higher terrain.
- Strong to stormy gusts are expected on uplands, with storms on the Feldberg increasing drifting and disruption risks, and road groups like ADAC urge cautious driving and winter equipment.
- Model guidance, including the GFS, indicates additional cold pulses could extend wintry episodes into late November—potentially renewing around November 22–23—although forecast confidence remains limited.
