Hanover (dpa / lni) - The ongoing snowfall in Lower Saxony is expected to decrease on Monday night - but meteorologists expect new flakes to come up from the south in the morning hours.

In an area from Göttingen and further north there will be another 5 to 15 centimeters of fresh snow spread over about 8 hours, said a meteorologist from the German Weather Service (DWD) on Sunday evening in Hamburg.

"There will be traffic obstructions there".

Although the new snowfall in southern Lower Saxony is not as strong as it was on Sunday, the snow that has fallen so far could hardly be cleared as quickly by then, he said.

The stormy winds remain particularly on the coast.

There is still the risk of snow drifts.
