5. Germany Snow Overview

Germany

Updated 24/03

Germany will benefit from the Nordstau event hitting the northern Alps this week, with good snowfall and dropping temperatures.

The freezing line will plummet from a daytime high above 2,000m on Wednesday to hit sea level on Friday morning. Driven by unsettled conditions moving in from the North, this will bring with it cloud and snowfall, with around 20cm expected down over Wednesday, Thursday and into Friday, benefiting principally upper slopes but falling across most elevations as the freezing line drops.

A burst of sunshine signals a brief return to spring freeze-thaw cycles, before the last tails of cloud bring with it a last flurry of snowfall to close out the weekend.
