That means snowroller. As in steamroller.

Snowstorm moves south – 50 centimeters of fresh snow in Baden-Württemberg ++ Many accidents ++ Relief in the north.

Winter storm “Elli” has Germany in its icy grip. Up to 50 centimeters of fresh snow is expected in the south, while rail traffic in the north is still restricted, but the all-clear has been given in some areas. There have been accidents on numerous highways and federal roads due to slippery conditions. Millions of Germans are now asking themselves: What will happen next with “Elli”? The German Weather Service (DWD) reveals all…

Climate Crisis activism in Germany has also been brought to an abrupt halt, I’ve noticed.

Just like everybody else does.

They moan about it being too hot, too cold, too wet or too dry for the season and blame it on the “Climate Crisis.”

How Germany manages extreme heat and climate change – The next heat wave has been forecast in Germany. How is a country known for its lack of air conditioning preparing?

This summer has seen some hot days in Germany. Very hot. In early July, temperatures in Hamburg and Cologne soared to 37 degrees Celsius (98.6 F). Some areas recorded temperatures close to 40 C.

In earlier years, such temperatures were not typically recorded until early August — a development that experts attribute to climate change. On radio, television and social media, people were urged to stay at home, especially during the middle of the day.

And in two months it will be a rained out summer

It’s the never-ending cycle of “climate crisis” hysteria.

Not enough rain: How can Germany cope with drought?

This spring was one of the driest on record in Germany. Agriculture, groundwater, and even retail prices are suffering. Plants and ecosystems are already in drought stress. What can be done?

There’s lots of snow and ice in Germany right now. In the winter OMG (this is where you say “but weather isn’t climate”)!

Why wasn’t the government prepared for this?

Germany braces for extreme weather and disruptions – Forecasters warned of treacherous conditions that could cause flight and other delays. Meanwhile the UK and US are also dealing with severe wintry conditions.

That means the “dark duldrums.”

It’s dark here all the time these days, in other words. And there’s not much wind either. “Renewables” don’t seem to like that for some reason.

A weather phenomenon dubbed ‘Dunkelflaute’ is causing havoc in Germany and pushing energy prices to 2-decade highs – A weather phenomenon dubbed “Dunkelflaute” that causes chilly, low-wind conditions is sweeping across Europe and causing fresh havoc to Germany’s embattled economy, where energy prices have risen to a two-decade high.

A Dunkelflaute, translated as “dark doldrums” or “dark wind lull,” is the bain of renewables companies, with an extended period of low wind and cloudy weather hurting their ability to generate electricity from either wind or solar.

Spring is in the air!

I love the smell of CO2 in the morning.

Snowstorms cause havoc on German motorways – Drivers with summer tires were stuck due to 10cm snowfall.

Snowstorms in Germany’s Bavaria region caused havoc on motorways on Sunday morning.

10cm of snow caused problems for many drivers who had switched to summer tyres, leaving them slipping or stuck.

The A9 motorway between Bayreuth and Pegnitz was particularly affected.

German of the day: “Wie kommt es zu dem extremen Winterwetter?”

That means: “What causes the extreme winter weather?”

In January. In Germany.

This was a real question asked and addressed by Germany’s ARD state TV channel. And they were serious. It wasn’t meant to be a joke. But it certainly is.

“Climate crisis” hysteria has brought us to the point where perfectly natural seasonal weather is now seen as a threat in need of an explanation and a solution.

When will this drought ever end?

You know, the drought we were all told to worry about a few months back?

I’m telling you. Droughts in the summer, rainstorms in the winter. These climate crisis extremes are a real bitch.

A storm brings strong winds to northern Europe, killing 2 people and disrupting transport.

In Hamburg, the Elbe River flooded streets around the city’s fish market, with water waist-high in places. Authorities said a storm surge in the port city peaked on Friday morning, reaching 3.3 meters (10.8 feet) above mean high tide.

It’s deadly out there

Climate crisis deadly.

And it’s getting deadlier all the time. Namely, whenever the temperature isn’t “just right.” Whatever “that “just right” might be.

German authorities urge people to stay home amid deadly winter weather – Authorities in western Germany on Tuesday urged residents to stay home, warning of life-threatening danger, after a burst of winter weather led to hazardous roads, leaving two people dead.

The sudden onset of winter led to several accidents and people being trapped in their vehicles due to slippery roads and fallen branches caused by snowfall in many parts of Germany.
