The skates don’t have to be greased yet and you don’t have to dust off the snowshoes yet, but winter will make itself heard. Next weekend it will be a few degrees frost in Drenthe during the nights to possibly -5 degrees. Chance of snow both nights.
“There is cold coming to us from the Baltic States and Poland, transport cold,” says RTV Drenthe weather woman Grieta Spannenburg. “If there is precipitation in that cold air, it will be snow or sleet. It won’t be much and the ground is warm so it will melt quickly. But still!”
In the coming days it will still be autumn-like in Drenthe, but it will be quieter in the air on Friday. Then the wind comes from the east and takes with it the cold that lies in Germany. The cold in Scandinavia also plays a role.
Saturday will probably bring a lot of sun, the precipitation will then move over regions west and south of Drenthe. On Sunday morning, that precipitation zone will come to Drenthe and the first snow of this season is expected. After the first snow comes wet snow, followed by light rain. “Then the cold will be over for a while,” Spannenburg said. “It’s a short swipe, but it’s the first.”
