Overview
- - The Deutscher Wetterdienst issued frost warnings Friday for large parts of Germany, forecasting lows near minus five degrees and widespread morning ice, with separate glätte alerts in the south.
- - Fresh Alpine snow has piled up fast, with 15 to 30 centimeters above about 1,000 meters and up to 50 to 60 centimeters in wind‑favored zones such as North Tyrol and other north‑facing ranges.
- - Avalanche services raised the risk to high in parts of Tyrol and to the second‑highest level above the treeline in Bavaria, and they advised skiers to avoid steep, large slopes and stick to gentle terrain.
- - Travel hazards have followed the freeze, including multiple crashes on Bavaria’s A9 earlier in the week, while a new front this weekend brings more rain, hill snow and nights with renewed frost.
- - The Easter outlook remains uncertain, with some model runs hinting at a brief warmup that could reach about 16 degrees in parts of the northwest and others keeping conditions cooler and unsettled.
