Polar air from the north heralds another onset of winter in Germany.
Slippery roads, snowfalls and freezing cold dominate the coming March days.
The spring temperatures are over, a change in weather * is just around the corner.
In Germany, it's all about getting thick jackets and winter boots out of the closet.
This is due to the high Margarethe, which formed off the Atlantic coast.
Together with the storm lows Luis and Klaus over Scandinavia as well as the low Marius over the Balkans, Hoch Margarethe causes a northern impulse for the Federal Republic.
That means: winter weather.
Winter weather in Germany: Extreme onset of winter in the Alps - up to one meter of fresh snow
At higher altitudes in the Alps, there is a lot of snowfall * and new snow covers up to one meter high.
Even in lower Alpine regions and the Black Forest, up to half a meter of fresh snow is expected by Thursday (March 18).
At lower altitudes, snowfall is also forecast, but the plus degrees of one to nine degrees Celsius ensure rapid melting.
Weather in Germany: Caution, slippery roads!
Freezing temperatures
At night, however, the thermometer climbs to values around zero degrees everywhere over the next few days.
In combination with wetness, therefore, caution is advised in road traffic, as the roads can become slippery.
In southern Germany, the lowest temperatures between zero and four degrees will come on Saturday (March 20).
