Overview
- Official alerts are active for snow, frost and slippery roads across parts of Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg and Saxony, with freezing rain creating slick spots at lower elevations.
- New snowfall of roughly 5–20 cm is forecast in Alpine and upslope regions, with exposed areas along the Alpine rim and in the Hochschwarzwald locally nearing 40 cm.
- Saxony police reported multiple accidents and trucks stuck or blocking roads around Görlitz, Bautzen and the Ore Mountains, urging drivers to slow down.
- Avalanche services assess the danger as mostly moderate during the ongoing snowfall in the Alps.
- Night temperatures fall below freezing, locally near minus 10°C in Alpine proximity, before a late‑week warm front lifts readings and may briefly cause glaze ice during the transition.
