Heavy snowfall has arrived in Slovakia. Snow complicates the situation on the roads
As expected, another wave of snowfall arrived in Slovakia today. Already at these moments, it is snowing heavily, especially in the Žilina region, which is causing problems on the roads.
While during yesterday it snowed lightly, especially on the eastern country, today snow is expected in most of Slovakia. Already at these moments, it is snowing heavily in several places, especially in the Žilina region.
Snowfall is reported by cities such as Žilina, Martin, Poprad or Prešov. Additional areas will be added gradually.
As is customary, such weather mainly causes drivers on the road. So far, especially in the aforementioned Žilina region.
Snow and ice cause problems
On an unpaved road, drivers complain in Zliechov and the surrounding area. The roads there are very difficult to cross.
However, ice is also a problem. It protrudes in the east of the country, specifically in the Košice region near the village of Slanec.
More snow will arrive during the day
Another wave of bad weather awaits us today. A warm front will take care of that, which is already beginning to be affected by the weather in the Czech Republic, Poland or Austria.
He arrives in our territory sometime around noon. It will bring with it snowfall, which should mainly affect our territory.
The warm front, which will bring bad weather, will move across our territory further east on Wednesday.
By Tuesday evening, a new snow cover will be created in Slovakia in many places, while in some places 20 centimeters of snow can fall.
Snow depth on Wednesday morning
I expect the most precipitation in Kysucie and Horná Orava, where we also expect a bad situation on the roads.
It will stop snowing on Wednesday night, during Wednesday warmer air will start to flow over our territory from the southwest. The snow will start to melt, but it will return on Thursday evening.
The snow does not have time to melt and moreover, we expect more snowfall over the weekend.
