fallen trees due to weather conditions

The Wurzbach volunteer fire brigade reported over fallen trees between Grumbach and Brenner's green, which is due to the combination of snow, ice and wind. Trees fell onto the street every hour, which initially classified the clearance of the route as too dangerous. The operation was broken off in the meantime and it was warned not to enter the forest because there was a risk to life. Forest companies have already commissioned a forest company to eliminate the fallen trees.

In the Greiz district, the street between Greiz and Schwarzhammermühle was closed in both directions on Friday due to fallen trees. Local people should avoid the area far. The state road between Massetal and Scheibe-Alsbach was also closed in the Sonneberg district on Monday. In the past few days there have also been further road closures, including between Spechtsbrunn and Kleintettau as well as between Haselbach and Hasenthal.

Consequences of the weather are also shown in the form of truck accidents. In Nesselhof in the district of Schmalkalden-Meiningen, a truck overturned, which blocked the street between Tambach-Dietharz and Floh-Seligenthal for rescue work. Another truck accident occurred between Steinheid and Steinach.

The weather forecast for Thuringia provides information about mild temperatures between 10 and 14 degrees, but with a lot of wind. In the night of Friday, individual showers are expected, while in the Thuringian Forest snowfall is possible at temperatures between 4 and 2 degrees. On Friday, rain, snow and pissing showers are predicted, with temperatures between -1 and +6 degrees. There are no significant changes in weather and temperature for Saturday.

Although the Alpine ski season on December 16 in Oberhof began due to the weather conditions, the Silver Satel in Steinach was closed due to thaw. The groomed cross -country kilometers around Oberhof have currently declined to zero, while the ski lift in the Snowpark Oberhof remains open. The slope on the Fallbachhang is still accessible to visitors over the Christmas days.
