Already a precarious snow situation in the south of Bavaria
The Garmisch-Partenkirchen district in particular was shaken by a violent onset of winter on Friday night *.
On Saturday there was even an avalanche near Greinau. * Elsewhere, like in the district of Miesbach *, the weather would be perfect - but unfortunately only people who live closer than 15 kilometers to the relevant mountains and slopes can enjoy it.
Because of the 200 incidence there, the 15-kilometer rule applies here, including a ban on entering the district for day trippers.
Snow in Bavaria: The risk of avalanches in the Bavarian Alps is very high
With the considerable amounts of snow over the past few days, the
danger of avalanches
also increases
.
Today (January 17th) another avalanche went off near Bad Tölz and hit two ski tourers.
A few days ago there was an avalanche in the region.
"In the Allgäu, Ammergauer and Werdenfelser Alps, the avalanche danger above the tree line is great, in the rest of the Bavarian Alps it is widespread," warns the Bavarian Avalanche Warning Center.
The authority further writes:
"The main problem is fresh snowdrift accumulations. These can be triggered as large snowboards by the slight additional load of a single skier or snowboarder."
Weather in Bavaria: Snow all over the Free State - all the way to Nuremberg
Not exactly snow chaos, but there are currently still snowfalls all over Bavaria.
In Nuremberg * the white splendor was even enough for sledding in the city parks - a rare sight.
At the same time, the following applies to
all commuters on Monday mornings across Bavaria
:
smooth roads, some with drifting snow
, allow more time and drive carefully.
After continuous snow: in the middle of the week a sharp turn in the weather
However, those who are already very used to the
white splendor
should enjoy it as extensively as possible as soon as possible.
Because from
Wednesday
spring
temperatures with double-digit plus degrees
suddenly
come to Bavaria.
The DWD estimates the
temperature increase to 7 to 12 degrees
from the middle of the week.
Then comes rain.
Both are known to be pure poison for the snowman.
