As LHMT weather forecaster Edita Gečaitė told BNS on Monday, the active cyclone will hit the southern regions of Lithuania on Monday evening.

“Already in some places it will snow a lot in the southern districts, and the next day we forecast that heavy snowfall is expected in many places during the night and during the day, most likely on the eastern side of the country,” said E .Gečaitė.

“This is a dangerous phenomenon, the information about it will be transmitted to all institutions,” added the meteorologist.

According to her, when the temperature drops to -4 degrees in some places on Tuesday night, plickle will form in many parts of the country, during the day the plick will also remain and it will be slippery due to heavy snowfall.

“On Tuesday morning the wind will be strongest, starting from the southern districts, in the morning the gusts in the southern districts will reach 15 meters per second in some places, and during the day in many districts, from 15 at 19 meters per second. Therefore, during heavy snowfalls, there will be blizzards in many areas and visibility will be poor, “warned the LHMT specialist.

Snow is still expected Wednesday night, it should fall slightly less, it will receive the most snow on the northeast side of the country. According to E.Gečaitė, on Wednesday night the wind gusts will also reach 15-19 meters per second, so they will blow.

The company of the Vilnius City Council, Grinda, reported that the snow, which will last several days, is expected from Monday from 16 to 17 hours, and in the next three days the snow cover may increase to 30 centimeters.

“We remind you: if in 20 hours or less 20-30 mm of precipitation falls, the snowfall is already natural, and if the snow cover increases in the same amount of time, the snowfall is catastrophic.” This amount of snow, which expected to receive January 25-28, has not been seen by experienced winter service workers for 15 years, “warns Grinda.

The company promises that all winter service employees will work intensively in the next three days, all available equipment will be used, and will be out on the streets starting at 2 pm.

However, the Hydrometeorological Service emphasizes that neither natural nor catastrophic snowfall is forecast in Lithuania. Depending on the service, part of the eastern districts may approach the natural snow indicator.

Early Monday morning, all of the city’s maintained routes were already doused with a mixture of salt and sand as a precaution, targeting forested areas and bridges and viaducts closer to bodies of water.
