Return of winter brings heavy snow
Winter has returned to Austria, with the west of the country expected to get 35 centimetres of snow through tomorrow (Sat) morning.
Arlberg and the Lech Valley Alps will get the heaviest snowfalls and the Rhine and Inn valleys could see 10 centimetres overnight, said Monika Weis, a meteorologist at the Central Agency for Meteorology and Geodynamics (ZAMG) office in Innsbruck.
Vorarlberg and Tyrol will bear the brunt of the onslaught, but low-lying areas in Salzburg and Upper and Lower Austria may also get 10 centimetres, she said, adding that eastern Austria would probably see only light snow.
Weis warned that the weekend would see heavy frost at night.
Carinthia has already seen heavy snow, which effectively stopped traffic over the Loibl Pass on the Austrian-Slovene frontier yesterday evening, according to car club ÖAMTC.
The club today said 50 vehicles were stuck on the pass and salt trucks could not reach the area.
It added that roads in the Boden Valley leading to Slovenia would remain impassable for several hours.
In the Soboth area on the Carinthian-Styrian border, trucks were earlier banned from roads and chains made mandatory for cars, ÖAMTC said.
