Location is Prüm at 450 m asl in the aptly named Schnee-Eifel hills just
over the border from Belgium. Karel reports seeing 12 cm snow there and 15
to 18 cm at higher levels.

Snow at low levels in Germany south of a line from the Ruhr to the
Erzgebirge (Ore Mountains). Large parts of southern Germany had a snow
cover on Wednesday morning. Chemnitz and Lüdenscheid had over 10 cm.
According to the daily report from the Free University of Berlin, the
Fichtelberg in the Erzgebirge range had 51 cm snow cover - more than the 50
cm reported on the Zugspitze in the Alps
