A Winter Wonderland Comes to the Mountains of Austria! (credit: Fam. ter Braak. via Meteo Europe)

DISCUSSION: As a weak low pressure system pushed through parts of northwestern Europe much earlier in the day today, many people across several parts of Poland woke up to a very scenic winter wonderland.  To be specific, there was a fresh coating of new snowfall of around 30 cm for parts of Vorarlberg and Tirol in Austria and the images above was taken in Mittelberg Kleinwalsertal!  There is no doubt that this will put a hitch in some people's travels across northwestern Europe since that is more than enough snowfall to stall travel abilities via both ground and rail.  The country-wide regional and international airports should or likely already did recover quite well since there has been plenty of time to clean from the bulk of the recent snowfall accumulations.
