Stuttgart – weather that already announces April.

Slippery snow due to the onset of winter: drivers rush into police cars

The snow surprised many people – including on the streets.

In the Schwarzwald-Baar district, a driver crashed into a police vehicle in slippery snow and probably at excessive speed.

Police said on Sunday that both drivers suffered minor injuries in the collision on Saturday evening.

The DWD predicted rain for Baden-Württemberg on Sunday and snow at higher altitudes, which could lead to partly slippery roads at night.

But the prospects are improving: from Monday, March 25th, according to the weather experts, the sun will shine more and more.

The temperatures should be between eight degrees in the mountains and 14 degrees in southern Baden.

Changeable Easter week is coming up - then it will be warm

This also applies to the rest of Germany, even if the last week of March will be changeable again.

“A wave of cold air is currently giving us typical April weather in March,” said Sebastian Schappert from the German Weather Service (DWD) in Offenbach on Sunday (March 24th).

According to the meteorologist, there will be light frost on Monday night, particularly in some low mountain areas and in Alpine valleys.
