In five Bavarian districts, the disaster is meanwhile. More than 2,200 helpers and emergency services were deployed in southern Upper Bavaria. The Bundeswehr sent 350 soldiers to the snow-covered districts. They freed roofs from the heavy snow masses, supplied residents in hard-to-reach places and transported helpers with armored tracked vehicles.
From Saturday evening to Monday evening, it should also snow in the Saxon low mountain ranges, but above all again in the Alpine region and in the Bavarian Forest – and rain in lower elevations. This could worsen the situation dramatically and make the snow on roofs at risk of collapse even heavier.
Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) gave assurances that the number of emergency services could be increased if necessary. She also expressed her grief over the death of a nine-year-old boy who was killed by a falling tree near Munich on Thursday.
Many gyms in southern Bavaria remained closed because of the heavy snow masses on the roofs. When clearing, their roofs would have high priority, said a spokeswoman for the Miesbach district office. The gyms would have to be kept free as possible emergency accommodation – for citizens or rescue workers, among others.
Numerous car and truck drivers began to slide on the streets in large parts of Bavaria. The road to Innsbruck was closed at the Mittenwald border crossing due to acute avalanche danger. Nursing staff from the Bavarian Red Cross received support from farmers in the deeply snow-covered regions: farmers used tractors and Unimogs to bring the carers to old and sick people.what is community service essay
In Franconia, those responsible in the ski areas were happy about the fresh snow on the slopes. The Bavarian farmers were also happy. "In the fields and in the forests, moisture is urgently needed because of the severe drought last year"said a spokeswoman for the Bavarian Farmers’ Association.
The school hours that are canceled due to the extreme weather do not have to be made up for, according to Bavaria’s Minister of Education and Cultural Affairs Michael Piazolo (Free Voters). In a number of schools, classes are also canceled at the beginning of the new week.
Munich (dpa) – The snow chaos in the south of Bavaria and in parts of Austria goes into the next week. The avalanche risk in the Alps is great. For today, weather experts predict fresh snow.

Late on Sunday evening, an avalanche buried parts of federal highway 305 in the Berchtesgadener Land district. Nobody was injured, the section of the route remained closed. In the Allgäu, the authorities blocked the access to the Balderschwang community due to the risk of avalanches.
In view of the massive snowfall in southern Bavaria, the federal police are providing 230 emergency services to support the helpers in the snow-covered areas. Federal Interior Minister Horst Seehofer (CSU) announced this during a visit to Berchtesgaden. "This is a signal that in such a situation you just stand together"he said at his meeting with rescue workers.

The district administrator of the Berchtesgadener Land asked the federal police for help. The region has had a disaster for days. More than 1000 forces from the German armed forces, fire brigade, Red Cross and technical relief organization are clearing masses of snow from roofs at risk of collapse.
The situation is worsening in Austria. Places like Lech and Zürs could no longer be reached because the access roads were blocked. The congregations announced this on their websites on Sunday evening. The village of Stuben am Arlberg was also cut off from the outside world due to the danger of avalanches. The Fernpass, an important connection between Germany and Austria, is also closed. In the state of Salzburg alone, 17,000 people were cut off from the outside world. As the authorities reported, the road to Obertauern was also closed on Sunday evening due to the risk of avalanches.
In parts of Austria, the highest avalanche warning level is being proclaimed again due to the new snowfall. For today, warning level 5 applies for the west of Tyrol for a short time, the authorities announced on Sunday in Innsbruck. Due to the weather and the high risk of avalanches, the Austrian Federal Railroad reported restrictions and train cancellations with replacement rail services in many places.
In five Upper Bavarian districts of Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen, Traunstein, Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Miesbach and Berchtesgadener Land, the disaster has been in effect for days – and it will probably remain in place for the time being.
At numerous schools in Upper and Lower Bavaria and in the Allgäu, classes are also canceled on Monday because, according to the authorities, a safe way to school is not guaranteed. In the districts of Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen and Oberallgäu as well as in the city of Kempten there are no classes up to and including Tuesday. In the district of Traunstein there was no snow until at least Wednesday.
The situation in Switzerland was also tense: the avalanche risk was raised to the highest level in several areas by the Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research. A further 60 to 100 centimeters of snow are expected from the eastern Bernese Oberland to the Alpstein, in the northern Upper Valais and in the Silvretta by Monday evening.
The weekend is uncomfortable, but milder than the last few days. This will end on Monday: Then it will be cold and slippery again – and snow will also appear.

After the milder temperatures at the weekend, it will be colder again on Monday in Germany. On the verge of the new low "Martin" Polar air flows from the north to Germany, as the German Weather Service announced on Saturday in Offenbach. In the lowlands it gets wet and cold, while in the mountains with fresh snow, winter comes back.
"With daytime temperatures in the lowlands between 0 and 5 degrees, white nocturnal surprises should quickly turn muddy and eventually melt"said meteorologist Lars Kirchhübel. But at night it gets frosty everywhere again. Smoothness remains an issue nationwide.
Snow line drops in the evening
On Sunday it is overcast with partly longer lasting precipitation. Sleet and snow fall above about 600 meters. In the evening the snow line drops to 400 meters. The maximum values reach 4 to 7 degrees, in the higher mountains 1 to 3 degrees.

In Germany you can enjoy spring-like temperatures on weekends. The coming week brings more changeable weather with it.
High "Dorit" lets the week end very sunny in large parts of Germany. Then, at least in the north and the middle, the weather will be more changeable, as the German Weather Service (DWD) announced in Offenbach. First of all, according to the meteorologists, when there is plenty of sunshine, up to 15 degrees are inside, in wind-protected locations in the low mountain ranges it can even get a little warmer.
The north of Germany will be touched by the front of a low pressure area over Scandinavia on Sunday, so that the sun can sometimes be covered by clouds. Further south it should stay with veil clouds. Since the sun is already a bit higher in the sky at this time of year and shines longer, winter sports enthusiasts, for example, should think about sun protection, advised the DWD.

Weather changeable at the start of the week
At the start of the new week, the influence of high pressure disappears; on Monday evening, thick clouds and some rain move to Germany from the northwest. Accordingly, Tuesday and Wednesday will be less sunny in the north and center of the country. Light rain is expected there, while the sun continues to shine in the extreme south.
The temperatures should reach a maximum of twelve degrees from Tuesday. "Instead, the night frost is retreating to the south of Germany and the low mountain ranges"said DWD meteorologist Jacqueline Kernn.

The helpers in southern Upper Bavaria expect new heavy snowfalls from Saturday evening. The disaster already applies in five districts.
From Saturday evening to Monday evening, it should also snow in the Saxon low mountain ranges, but above all again in the Alpine region and in the Bavarian Forest – and rain in lower elevations. This could worsen the situation dramatically and make the snow on roofs at risk of collapse even heavier.

The Bundeswehr sent 350 soldiers to the snow-covered regions. They free roofs from the heavy snow masses, supply residents in hard-to-reach places and transport helpers with armored tracked vehicles. Around 300 more soldiers were placed in increased readiness.
The Bavarian Red Cross (BRK) also has many helpers on site. "Despite days of volunteer and full-time work, we experience highly motivated workers", emphasized a BRK spokesman on Friday evening.
