Meteorologists in Lithuania have reported on the extreme weather conditions experienced in the country, noting a mix of precipitation that included snow, sleet, and rain on Friday. In the northern parts of Lithuania, heavy snowfall was observed along with blizzards, while some areas witnessed freezing rain and the formation of black ice. The temperatures during this period fluctuated from freezing to slightly above, with nighttime lows dropping substantially to between -7 to -13 degrees Celsius, particularly in northern regions.

The heaviest snowfall was documented in municipalities such as Panevėžys, where 14.1 mm of precipitation fell, translating to significant snow accumulation, followed closely by Jonava, Rokiškis, and Pakruojis. On Saturday morning, the snow depth exceeded half a meter in parts of northern Lithuania. The meteorologists further explained that generally, 1 mm of precipitation correlates to approximately 1 cm of snow, with this ratio varying when dry, powdery snow is involved.

Looking ahead, the forecasts indicate that slight snowfall may continue in the eastern parts of the country on Saturday morning, accompanied by chances of slippery conditions and blustery winds. As such, it emphasizes the need for awareness and caution among residents as winter conditions persist, highlighting the ongoing impact of weather on everyday life in Lithuania.
