From 30C to snow in under a week? It's possible in Germany where seven centimetres of the white stuff fell at the top of the Bavarian Alps on Friday.
It might seem like summer was only last week in Germany – and that's because it was.
With blazing sunshine and temperatures topping 30C over the weekend, the onset of winter couldn't have been further from most Germans' minds.
But in the Bavarian Alps, autumn has been skipped out altogether.
At Zugspitze – Germany's highest peak, at 2,962m – seven centimetres of snow have already fallen, reports the Münchner Merkur.
"The peaks are already lightly sprinkled with snow, and some more could come over the weekend," said a spokesperson from the German Meteorological Service in Munich on Friday.
"Time to start clearing away the snow again.." Zugspitze is the highest peak of the Wetterstein mountain range, which straddles the border between Bavaria and Tyrol.
The peaks are a popular destination for mountaineers, hikers and tourists.
Most Germans probably haven't even thought of getting the hat and scarf out yet - but with more snow expected over the weekend, visitors to the Bavarian Alps might want to wrap up warm from now on.
Global warming! I mean, the new Ice Age! Or whatever the alarmists want to call it today.
This is going to totally screw up the Kenyan’s melting glaciers thingy.
In before Nick...
He predicted the weather in Bavaria?
Saturday night cookout. Rushing to post, you know.
I should have said, Trump predicted that.
“Global warming! I mean, the new Ice Age! Or whatever the alarmists want to call it today”.
The Global Warming and Mini Ice Age “Alarmists” are completely different.
He said the weather was going to be great, fabulous, the best.
For all I know, Trump might be the Anti-Christ...but at least he is the anti-Obama.
Relax, Nick. It will all work out.
Yooge, even!
I don't see how he is anti-Obama. He sure helped him in the 2012 election.
30C = 86 F
Might help some of us non Celsius to understand.
Snow at 9000 feet isn’t exactly news any time of year. Where I live the forecast includes the snow level - today it’s at 7500. During the Summer it fluctuates a lot - anywhere from 6000 to 15000.
You need to take a day off and relax.
Trump may not win. Let it go, Dude.
“This is going to totally screw up the Kenyan’s melting glaciers thingy.”
Especially when you find out that 90% of the world’s glaciers are advancing, not retreating!
