Germany Braces for Winter Storms with Snow and High Winds

A powerful storm system is sweeping across Germany, bringing snow, rain, and strong winds, with warnings issued for hazardous conditions.

The German Weather Service (DWD) has issued warnings for snow, rain, and strong winds affecting various regions, including the Harz, Sauerland, and the Alps.
Heavy snowfall is expected in the higher elevations, with the Allgäu region potentially seeing up to 20 centimeters of snow.
In lower areas, snow is likely to mix with rain, leading to slippery roads and potential travel disruptions.
Wind speeds could reach up to 100 kilometers per hour in some areas, with the strongest gusts predicted in mountainous regions.
Temperatures are set to drop below freezing at night, increasing the risk of ice and further complicating travel conditions.
