Lithuanian meteorologists have issued warnings regarding an impending shift in the weather, predicting snowfall and rain expected to arrive overnight. They specifically highlight the risks associated with freezing rain, which can quickly create hazardous conditions on streets, sidewalks, and stairs. To mitigate dangers, preventive measures are being taken in urban areas, such as the scattering of a sand and salt mixture to enhance safety on pedestrian paths.

In preparation for the forecasted snowfall, Lithuanian authorities have announced that snow removal operations will commence as soon as the snow starts to accumulate. The message shared on social media advises the public to exercise caution while driving and walking, emphasizing that if snow falls during the night, it will not be removed from the city sidewalks until the rain ends. Thus, the upcoming weather conditions necessitate a high level of awareness from citizens regarding their travel plans.

With current conditions remaining dry in the capital, the urgency for timely response to adverse weather is paramount. As precipitation begins, timely cleanup efforts are crucial to prevent accidents and ensure public safety. Lithuanians are encouraged to stay informed of weather updates and consider delaying non-essential trips to avoid potential hazards related to the expected wintry mix of conditions.
