Winterchaos in Hanover: smooth streets after several centimeters of fresh snow!

Hannover, Deutschland - Winter conditions currently burden the Hanover region and large parts of northern Germany. In the night of Thursday, several centimeters of fresh snow fell, which covers the streets and sidewalks. According to the experts from the German Weather Service (DWD), continued cool temperatures and smooth roads are expected until Friday, February 14th. The low pressure influence of deep "Max", which moves from France to Lower Saxony to the North Sea, ensures these adverse weather conditions, which have existed since Tuesday and have numerous traffic accidents.

In the night of Thursday, snow fell again in Hanover and thus paired the risk of smoothness. Streets and cycle paths have been cleared for rush hour traffic, but the weather conditions remain tense. The Hanover police report 41 smooth accidents since early morning, while fortunately no serious accidents were recorded for smoothness the night before. An accident occurred on the A2 when a car crashed into the guardrail without complaining. Rainfalls and fiercing moisture are also a danger on other routes, such as on the A352, where a slight accident with a truck passed.

smoothness and traffic accidents

Especially in Lower Saxony and the adjacent federal states, the traffic situation is tense. On Autobahn 39 there was an accident at Scheppau, which fortunately did not call for any injuries. Further incidents in the region, such as on B1 and in the district of Helmstedt, show the extent of the weather -related problems. Similar smooth phenomena can also be observed in Schleswig-Holstein and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, where the authorities report on minor accidents.

The DWD meteorologist Mareike Pohling warns for caution and refers to "striking smoothness" until Friday morning. In the night of Thursday, the temperatures were measured up to -4 degrees Celsius, which further increases the glading. Drivers should adapt their speed and expect longer travel times, especially because the weather conditions also prevail on Thursday. Another aspect are persistent warning strikes in the public service that could affect the municipal winter services, although many are not affected.

The forecasts of the DWD continue to expect snowfall with up to seven centimeters of fresh snow until the weekend, which could increase the problem of road conditions. On Saturday and Sunday there will also be warned of smooth roads and an increased risk of accidents. Some traffic accidents, such as reports on smoothly accidents in Bremen, underline the urgency of the warnings - the authorities reported around 80 accidents there within a short time.
