Similar to the past few days, the freezing temperatures, which in some places fell below -10 °C, threaten to damage vegetables, flowering trees and vineyards. The list of damages that growers are currently trying to estimate may not be final.
In addition to the frost on Thursday, meteorologists are also expecting more intense precipitation, which will initially be snowy at altitudes above 400 meters and later from 800 meters above sea level.
