Essen (dpa / lnw) - In parts of North Rhine-Westphalia, a dangerous freezing rain set in on Saturday evening.
At first there were only very small hailstones, said a meteorologist from the German Weather Service in Essen on Saturday evening.
Only in Siegerland did the weather experts estimate the risk to be very high and warned of widespread black ice.
From Siegerland, the freezing rain stretches at night in a wide strip over Wuppertal and Düsseldorf to the Dutch border.
In this area, at least locally, slippery surfaces can be expected, said the weather service.
It could become much more critical in the course of the night further north in NRW.
For the region from the Lippe district via Bielefeld and Paderborn to Münster and Unna, the weather service warned of heavy snowfall from 9 p.m. and of extremely heavy snowdrifts from midnight.
