Slippery roads on Tuesday: Snowfall and black ice are expected here
After a calm start to the week, Germany faces slippery road conditions on Tuesday as snow, rain, and black ice create hazards, particularly in the north and east.
Meteorologist جان شينك warned that while the western regions remain relatively mild, the northeast will see colder temperatures and longer-lasting precipitation. Drivers should be prepared for icy patches, especially during Tuesday morning rush hour.
Although snowfall is expected to decrease compared to Monday, hazardous conditions will persist. Schenk explained that sudden black ice or freezing rain could occur, making roads unpredictable.
Maps show widespread snow, rain, and icy spots across Germany, with the north and east most affected. The mix of precipitation increases the risk for motorists, and caution is advised on all major routes.
The situation is expected to improve by Tuesday afternoon, and by Wednesday, icy conditions should no longer pose a risk. Authorities urge drivers to remain vigilant until the weather fully stabilizes.
