Overview
- DWD maintains alerts for frost, icy roads and local snowfall after snow was observed in the Alps, the Alpine foreland and several Mittelgebirge.
- Forecasts point to the snowline sinking to roughly 300–600 meters through midweek, with temporary dips lower at night during heavier showers.
- Coastal northwestern areas may see narrow lake‑effect bands, and a swath from the Emsland into southern Schleswig‑Holstein could get several centimeters of wet snow on Wednesday.
- Authorities report early impacts, including winter service operations in the Erzgebirge and glatte‑related accidents in parts of the country.
- Guidance signals continued cold into the weekend, though model runs differ on intensity later in the period, while the most substantial totals remain focused on higher terrain in the Alps and Black Forest at around 10–20 centimeters.
