Upcoming Winter Vacation in Northern Germany Predicted
The northern half of Germany is bracing itself for a strong winter storm, as announced by the weather service of Jörg Kachelmann on Friday. According to the meteorologist's report, significant freezing rain is expected in the transition to milder air, leading to potential ice collapses in central Germany.
The storm is expected to bring heavy snowfall and drifting snow from Lower Saxony to the Ore Mountains. Up to 50 centimeters of fresh snow could accumulate in Lower Saxony by Sunday afternoon. Drifting snow is forecasted from Bremen through Hamburg to Usedom from Saturday afternoon to Monday night.
Stormy gusts up to 80 km/h are expected on the North and Baltic Sea coasts, potentially causing disruptions. Strong gusts are also expected along the North Sea and the Kiel Bay, although no new information about these specific gusts was provided in the latest report.
Passengers travelling by long-distance train can flexibly use or freely cancel their tickets from Friday or up to 7 days after any disruption, according to earlier reports. Deutsche Bahn, Germany's national railway company, has not reported any weather-related restrictions as of Friday afternoon.
A distinct air mass boundary is causing the heavy snowfall and drifting snow. The storm is expected to affect regions from North Rhine-Westphalia through North Hesse to Thuringia and the western Ore Mountains, with ice predicted in these areas.
The calm before the storm was captured in a photo showing snow in northern Brandenburg, as per the provided photo caption. The approaching storm is a reminder for everyone to stay safe and prepared during these wintery conditions.
