Krkonoše Mountains see 15 centimetres of snow

Around 15 centimetres of snow fell on the ridges of the Krkonoše Mountains in the north of Czechia on Friday night. It was the first major snow of the season in the highest parts of the mountain range.

Strong winds on Saturday forced the closure of a cable car from the town of Pec pod Sněžkou to Sněžka, the country’s highest peak. While it was minus 2.2 degrees Celsius on Sněžka the gales meant that the “real feel” was minus 12 degrees Celsius.
