The flakes also fall in the lowlands

It has been snowing almost everywhere in Switzerland since Sunday evening – even large parts of the lowlands are covered in white flakes. And on Monday things will continue in a similar style, as MeteoSchweiz writes.

However, it is uncertain whether it will remain just white flakes – it is more likely that there will be somewhat less magnificent snow showers. So it stays very cloudy in the lowlands all day and at an altitude of 500 to 600 meters above sea level the snowfall turns into rain or snow showers.

At higher altitudes, however, it will continue to snow “sustainably and abundantly,” according to the meteorologists’ forecast. On Sunday, the snowfall caused traffic problems in the mountains. Up to 50 centimeters of fresh snow is expected again in parts of Graubünden today.

The positive side, however, is that the chances of a white Christmas – an absolute rarity in the recent past, especially in the lowlands – are intact.
