The Regen district in the Bavarian Forest is bracing for another winter storm as heavy snowfall is forecasted. In April, the region was caught off guard by an unexpected snowfall that caused chaos on the ski slopes and closed down local inns and mountain railways. Despite efforts to clear the roads, cars and trucks can only move at a slow pace due to the snow cover.
At an altitude of 900 to 1000 meters, around 30 to 40 centimeters of fresh snow has fallen, causing a state of emergency on the ski slopes around Großer Arber in Bayern. The mountain railway has shut down its main gondola lift for two days due to the weather conditions. Residents are advised to be cautious about increasing snow loads on roofs, with some areas reaching critical levels.
The unpredictability of nature in the Bavarian Forest is evident in the sudden snowfall in April, though it is not uncommon for the region. According to meteorologists, a low-pressure system named “Annina” is responsible for the winter weather, bringing cold air from Poland to Germany. Meteorologists predict heavy snowfall from Sauerland to Thuringian Forest, with over 15 centimeters of fresh snow expected above 400 to 600 meters.
The diversity of nature in the Bavarian Forest is showcased by this sudden turn of events. Residents are urged to stay vigilant and prepared for these winter conditions.
In conclusion, despite winter services working hard to clear roads and keep cars moving at a slow pace due to snow cover, residents are advised to stay vigilant and prepared for any winter condition that may arise in their area.
