Christmas dream in danger: where is the snow for the festival?

Bregenz, Österreich - The dream of white Christmas is on the brink again! In the past few days, warm temperatures have firmly under control, and meteorologist Thomas Rinderer describes the Situation as an early Christmas thaw. "The idea of ​​white Christmas is actually a fairy tale," he clarifies. In fact, it has been green than white in the past centuries in the Rhine Valley, and the last white Christmas in Bregenz has already been over ten years ago - in 2010 it was the last time that the city was enchanted with snow on Christmas Eve, as orf.at reported.

How do the chances of snow?

But the hope of snow is not yet lost! Weather models indicate that a cold front moves to Vorarlberg from December 19. This brings the snowfall limit to around 500 to 600 meters by Friday morning, which could bring in higher altitudes such as Bludenz and Alberswende a few centimeters of snow. Especially on December 22nd, strong snow could fall in the northern souls and the likelihood of a white Christmas could increase, Rinderer continues. As Brisant , the prediction for southeastern Germany is also unsure; Snow may only be expected in higher locations, such as in the Ore Mountains.

The great uncertainty remains the weather exactly on Christmas Eve. Meteorologists agree that we are at this air mass border, which makes the prediction complicated. Above all, the weather in the Rhine Valley could enable surprisingly white Christmas on December 24th before it gets milder again in the afternoon. A clear forecast remains difficult - so the anticipation for a Christmas blanket of snow stops!
