  • Story Text: A late winter snowstorm has dropped several centimetres
    of snow on Bavaria overnight.




    Though the calendar says it is the first week of
    Spring, a storm system swept through the Alpine region
    early Thursday (March 25), bringing snow and hazardous
    conditions for motorists.

    Fog and freezing temperatures hindered drivers in the
    early morning hours but conditions improved as the snow
    melted, leaving autobahns wet.

    In Austria, more than one metre of new snow has forced
    authorities to warn skiers that avalanches may occur in
    some recreational areas in the Alps.
