Frost valley in Hesse: Glatt roads and snow awaited until the weekend!

cold and frost currently determine the weather in Hesse, especially in Frankfurt and the surrounding Rhein-Main region. On February 4, the German Weather Service (DWD) published new warnings today, which are intended to draw the population aware of the adverse conditions. In the first February days, frost and smoothness can be expected that can significantly influence the road conditions.

After a frosty night on February 4, the DWD reports that the street positions can be smooth, especially in the early day. Temperatures between 0 and 3 degrees are expected during the day; In some regions it can even remain cold up to -1 degrees due to fog and clouds. A frost warning applies to several cities and circles in Hesse, including Frankfurt, Offenbach, Wiesbaden and Darmstadt, and is scheduled from Tuesday, 12 p.m. to 5 p.m.

The nightly temperatures and forecasts

For the night of Wednesday, the DWD predicts frosty temperatures between -3 and -6 degrees. The smoothness of the smooth remains. On Wednesday, clouds move out of northwest; Easy drizzle is possible, especially in North Hessian Tallagen where black ice could threaten. From the afternoon the clouds can loosen up, with the maximum values ​​rise to 2 to 5 degrees.

meteorologist Dominik Jung also warns of an unpredictable weather phenomenon, a high height that could be overturned over Hesse. Such heights can bring sudden snowfall with them. The forecasts fluctuate between 5 and 10 cm of fresh snow in certain storage. This carries the risk of freezing rain that can cause black ice on roads and sidewalks.

winter conditions in other federal states

The winter conditions are not limited to Hesse. The DWD has published an official smoothness warning for a large part of Germany. In several federal states, including Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria and Lower Saxony, there are similar smoothing through freezing moisture and slush. Snowfall is expected in certain regions on Wednesday, with larger quantities of snow being forecast for the weekend.

• Baden-Württemberg: smoothness through freezing moisture, especially in the Odenwald and Hohenlohe.
• Bavaria: up to 5 cm fresh snow in higher locations.
• Lower Saxony: frost up to -6 degrees, also smoothing.

Despite sporadic snowfalls, there were no major traffic chaos last night, since the weather conditions calmed down in some regions. However, the risk of smoothness remains with overburdening water, which can be particularly problematic for rush hour traffic, according to the reporting of ZDF.de .

The coming days will continue to bring challenges from cold and snow, especially for the higher locations. At the weekend, temperatures between 0 and -5 degrees can be expected, with other showers that can increase the glading risk. The prevailing conditions therefore require special caution in the course of traffic and in everyday life.
