A snowy landscape has not existed in Germany for several years but now there is hope for a white Christmas 2021. Many had anticipated that this year would be one with snowy festivities but also due to the pandemic, there are no Christmas markets.

Since the massive and festive snowstorm in 2010, such a landscape was a rarity in North Rhine-Westphalia and other regions of Germany.

Wetter.de wrote that it can be a possibility for the more mountainous regions of the country. The weather forecast for the next 42 days for Garmisch-Partenkirchen in Bavaria shows that December could be covered in snow again there.

This is due to various factors.

But in order for the snow to really stay there, the nights have to stay cold – to the detriment of annoyed car drivers who have to scrape their car windows free of frost in the morning.

Focus.de said that they could not rule out the chance of snow at Christmas in the country either with December and January being cold months.

According to Ruhr24.de the experts from the German Weather Service (DWD), the fact that the first snow for this winter in North Rhine-Westphalia could fall in November cannot be ruled out. The next few days should remain mostly dry, but in the next two weeks the precipitation could fall in the form of snowflakes if the conditions are right.
