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.

“Extreme weather”

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.

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.

The climate cr-cr-cr-crisis-is-is…

Is making it cr-cr-critically c-cold here at the moment.

Ausgerechnet (of all times) in December, too. If I lived in Munich I’d fly to the south to escape if I could but I couldn’t so I wouldn’t so I won’t.

Germany: Munich airport suspends flights amid heavy – Flights at Germany’s second-biggest airport were canceled until noon. Heavy snow submerged the Bavarian capital, with public transport also suspended.

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.

Flock means flake. Like snowflake. Get it?

Heavy snowstorm pounds Germany, upends travel – A snowstorm and strong winds pounded northern and western Germany on Sunday, forcing trains to cancel trips and leading to hundreds of vehicle crashes. Police said 28 people were injured on icy roads. Climate Change just ain’t what it used to be.

And some even maintain that the climate has never not changed. No, for real.

But this here is only weather. Meaning it is unreal. Or fake, if you prefer. Snow in February? In Germany? What a topsy-turvy world we now live in, folks. When will these capricious shifts in weather, I mean climate patterns ever end? Somebody do something about it already.

Germany braces for extreme winter weather – DWD, the German Weather Service, forecast heavy snow and icy temperatures this weekend. Officials said non-essential journeys should be avoided as a number of train services were axed.

What is this bizarre weather phenomenon?

Concerned Germans and climate activists everywhere are puzzled by a strange form of precipitation in the form of crystalline water ice that has suddenly begun falling from the clouds all over Germany.

“Although we have only just begun our studies now,” everyone said in unison. “This is clearly another indication of the direct relationship between Global Warming and the gases (particularly CO2) we have emitted into the atmosphere. Brrr! Is this one cold puppy or what?”

60 Zentimeter Schnee auf der Zugspitze in Bayern. Bis zu einem halben Meter in den Mittelgebirgen. Selbst in Schleswig-Holstein liegen 20 Zentimeter Schnee.
