White Christmas in danger! Where's the snow for the festival?

Vorarlberg, Österreich - Christmas is getting closer, but the hope of "White Christmas" is growing! According to the experts of krone.at , a classic winter wonderland, as you know it from old films, will probably remain a dream this year. A mild Christmas thaw is in sight! The temperatures will rise again on Christmas Eve after a cold slump on the weekend could provide some snow at short notice. However, even in the higher altitudes of the Alps, the probability that the snow will remain is extremely low. While a bit of snow could occur in staff, Pinzgau and Kitzbühel, the long -term weather models indicate a warm and snowless Christmas Eve.

snow forecasts and the 100-year weather calendar

Before the new year begins, the weather in December remains a big topic. The forecasts of the 100-year calendar point out that only "little snow" will occur between 20 and 31. Nevertheless, the question arises: is it enough for a white Christmas? The 100-year-old calendar, which is based on long observations, announced "grim cold" for December 11th and 12th, followed by short snowfalls. But the hope of continuing snow seems to be disappearing. There is also no cold slump in New Year's Eve and the weather could be milder.

The current calculations show that December in Germany will be one to two degrees too warm. Meteorologists expect the daily maximum between minus one and six degrees, but the low temperatures at night up to minus eight degrees do not bring wintry miracles. It remains uncertain whether there will be a snow cover at Christmas despite these serious forecasts. A bright spot could be that the snow - if it comes - could most likely fall in southern Germany. The weather remains exciting and the hope of white Christmas despite all the adversities continues.
