Overview
- DWD yellow warnings for frost, snow and slippery roads cover roughly half the country, with county-level alerts across Bavaria and similar advisories in multiple states.
- Snow is forecast in the central and western highlands and locally to lower elevations, including bands into the Harz and parts of Schleswig-Holstein, with up to about 10 centimeters possible in higher terrain.
- Nighttime temperatures fall widely below freezing, with forecasts around -2 to -8 °C and locally below -10 °C over snow-covered areas, increasing the risk of black ice.
- ADAC advises winter tires, gentle braking and acceleration, larger following distances, and avoiding driving during ice rain where possible.
- Forecast guidance points to further cold pulses, including a potential snow band on the night of 22–23 November and a late‑month trend toward broader snow cover, though model confidence remains limited.
