- The German Weather Service issues severe warnings for icy roads, heavy snowdrifts, and hurricane-force gusts affecting large parts of southern and northern Germany.
- Schools in North Rhine-Westphalia, Lower Saxony, Hamburg, and Bremen close on Friday or Monday, implementing remote learning and emergency care due to dangerous conditions.
