Reporting the weather on Focus, meteorologist Jan Schenk warned that the combination of forceful winds and heavy snow could lead to dangerous conditions in the south of the country over Tuesday evening and into the night.
"Peak winds in the south will reach 90km-per-hour in the lowlands and hurricane force over the peaks of the Alps," he said. "This could lead to snow drifts at higher altitudes and at the foot of the Alps."
Comment: It's notable that the above is thought to be due to ice crystals forming in the atmosphere, because a variety of other related phenomena are on the rise and seem to further confirm that, as we enter a "grand" solar minimum, conditions on our planet are significantly cooling :
- Ozone hole above Antarctica is one of the largest ever, it's still growing, and may be linked to the COOLING stratosphere
- "Once in a lifetime" outbreak of polar stratospheric clouds captured on video above Sweden
- Cosmic climate change: 'Space plasma hurricane' observed in ionosphere above North Pole!
- Gulf Stream System at its weakest in over a millennium, last significant decline recorded during the little ice age
