The article discusses the snow cover in Lithuania, noting that the thickest layers, exceeding 35 cm, are found in parts of the western districts, as well as in the Raseiniai, Pasvalys, and Švenčionys areas. Other regions have snow depths ranging from 15 to 30 cm, with the least snow found in the southwestern part of the country around Kybartai. The underlying frost layer varies, with many areas experiencing a thickness of only 12 to 16 cm, while some meteorological stations record up to 35 to 38 cm of frost where the snow has been cleared.

The weather forecast indicates that the day will be dry, with light snow expected on Tuesday and Wednesday, followed by a gradual warming trend starting Thursday. Meteorologist Gytis Valaika from 'Weather and Climate in Lithuania' confirms these predictions, asserting that a very cold day remains before the arrival of mild air masses later in the week. This transition marks the beginning of warmer, damp weather, which will bring a change from snow to sleet and rain that will start to melt the existing snow cover.

This warming trend and forecasted precipitation could have significant implications for the environment, including melting snow contributing to increased moisture levels in the soil. It also raises concerns regarding potential flooding in areas where snow accumulation has been particularly heavy, as rain could exacerbate existing weather conditions across Lithuania.
