Spring starts with high temperatures and sunshine
The gloomy weeks are over, now it's time for spring fever. Result: the snowiest winter in 100 years.
Saturday was the meteorological start of spring and, fittingly, the sun shone at the weekend, awakening the first feelings of spring - high time after the long, gloomy weeks. Although it was cold in places, there was little snow. According to calculations by GeoSphere Austria, it was even the winter with the least snow in Vienna for 100 years! December, January and February were extremely dry.
Winter with the least snow for 100 years
If you didn't go skiing in the provinces, you may not have seen any snow at all this year. Below 500 meters, the amount of fresh snow was 90 percent lower and the number of days with snow cover was 85 percent lower than in an average winter. At the Hohe Warte measuring station in Döbling, there was only one centimeter of snow this winter, so the meadows, trees and fields were at most covered in snow.
Either way, many Viennese are fed up with winter and are longing for spring-like weather, which is finally arriving this week. Temperatures are now rising daily, reaching a high of 17 degrees on Friday, accompanied by bright sunshine.
