"The German Weather Service (DWD) has issued warnings of "a widespread severe black ice situation," with meteorologist Oliver Reuter saying conditions would be hazardous across large areas. The ADAC (German Automobile Club) urged drivers to avoid unnecessary trips, warning that in cases of flash ice it is better to leave cars parked. The weather service has issued severe weather warnings for black ice in several states."
"Schools have been closed in multiple regions. In North Rhine-Westphalia, the country's most populous state, schools have switched to remote learning on Monday, with only emergency care offered, the state government said. In the states of Bremen and Lower Saxony, in-person classes have also been canceled. All districts and independent cities in Lower Saxony suspended regular lessons, citing the inability to guarantee safe transport for students, with exceptions only on the East Frisian islands."
The German Weather Service issued warnings of a widespread severe black ice situation affecting large areas. Drivers were urged to avoid unnecessary trips because flash ice can make roads hazardous. Severe weather warnings for black ice covered several states, triggering school closures and remote learning. North Rhine-Westphalia switched to remote lessons with only emergency care available. Bremen and Lower Saxony canceled in-person classes, and all districts in Lower Saxony suspended regular lessons except on the East Frisian islands due to transport safety concerns. Authorities warned conditions remained dangerous even as impacts overall were less severe than feared. Storm Gunda followed Storm Elli, bringing heavy snow, ice, and strong winds that disrupted travel.
