Germany – 60 cm (2 ft) of new snow

Severe Red Weather Alert: Heavy snow in two regions. 8 cm of snow per hour. Snow drifts one-meter deep.

The snowfall in southern Germany has no end. For the period from Thursday afternoon until Saturday morning, the storm center announces new heavy snowfall.

First, a broad band from Freiburg to Stuttgart and Lake Constance will extend to Karlsruhe. Here is the risk not only of heavy snow but also of storms and even hurricanes. The region east of Regensburg in Bavaria will also see heavy snowfall.

Snow drifts one-meter deep

One commentator (Gerlinde Bauer, 05.02.2015) says: We have 60 cm (2 ft) of new snow, with partially strong drifts, then it drifts 1 m high. 3 days ago they the weathermen predicted 1 cm of snow per hour, but instead came each 8 cm per hour with drifts. Just depends only on the area. Greetings from the Allgäu snow country.
