Denmark Sees Season's First Snow as Cold Polar Air Moves In

Cold polar air brought Denmark its first snowflakes of the season. Commuters should prepare for wet roads and coastal gales across the country. The Danish Meteorological Institute confirmed white patches in North Jutland. Meteorologist Mette Zhang confirmed the snowfall to news agency Ritzau. Road crews and local webcams showed white patches in northern Denmark.

Temperatures remain above freezing across Denmark. Because of the warmth, snow will not stay on the ground for long. Northern Denmark has the highest chance of seeing additional snow. However, DMI does not expect enough snow for sled rides or snowmen.

Cold polar air is moving south late Thursday into Friday. Friday may bring hail, sleet, or wet snow in several areas. Clouds will give way to sunshine later on Friday. Winds will remain strong from the west and northwest. Coastal areas will face gales with powerful gusts. Zhang emphasized that Denmark is experiencing typical autumn weather rather than winter.
