Spring mood followed by rain and snow

After sunshine at the weekend, rain and snow await us again. So spring is still a long time coming. 

If you look at the photos from our "Krone" readers, you could almost believe that spring is knocking on Carinthia's door. On the last day of the bird count, Arnulf Aichholzer photographed a beautiful great spotted woodpecker at his feeding station in Villach/St. Ulrich. Georg Wastl caught the gray geese that had taken off over the Bleistätter Moor. The fisherman in the middle of the Gail, which Dagmar Langmaier spotted on her hike, was obviously not cold at all.

The snow photos sent in remind us that spring is still a little way off. This is also confirmed by meteorologists from the Ubimet weather service, who are even forecasting snow on Upper Carinthia's mountains next week: "It will be wet and gray in places and from Wednesday an Italian low will touch us; the snow line will drop to 1000 meters in some parts of Carinthia," says the expert.

Carinthians can only look forward to more sunshine and temperatures of up to 14 degrees towards the weekend.
