Dangerous weather mix in Bavaria ensures smooth roads - freezing wet!
According to
DWD,
we are currently experiencing a phase change on the way to the east:
Mild air masses
meet colder air near the ground.
At the beginning of the precipitation there is sometimes snowfall before it turns into rain.
In addition, the ground is still frozen.
In large parts of the Free State, the rain falls on frosty roads - and turns to ice there.
The phenomenon is referred to as
“freezing wetness”.

Dangerous weather mix in Bavaria: the danger of avalanches continues to increase
In addition, with the milder temperatures and the large amount of fresh snow in Bavaria's mountains, the already high
avalanche danger (level 4 of 5) should
continue to increase.
So everyone who wants to enjoy the sunny weather tomorrow should choose their tour very carefully.
Above the tree line it becomes dangerous almost everywhere.
The main problem is still fresh
snowdrift
, writes the
Bavarian avalanche warning service
.
This can be triggered as a slab avalanche even by the slight additional load on a single winter sports enthusiast.
In addition, there are the high temperatures below, which make the snow heavier, so that avalanches can easily resolve themselves.
