The white weekend surprise is almost brown slush again on Monday.

Too bad, because Berlin just looks magical under a powder blanket.

After the flakes danced from the sky again in the early Sunday afternoon, there was even enough snow to build small snowmen on one or the other car hood. The twilight forests suddenly shone brightly, which made walkers and joggers particularly happy.

But be careful, ice! In Dallgow-Döberitz (Havelland), a gritting vehicle swerved and overturned. The driver was injured and taken to the hospital.

Will the snow stay or will there be more of it every day? Unfortunately not. It stays smooth on the streets for now. But by the middle of the week it will even get up to 7 degrees warm during the day.
