First snow of the season has reached Poland's lowlands, not just the mountains

Winter has just sent its first message. On Tuesday 10 November, the first snow of the season appeared in many parts of Poland, and not only high up in the mountains. It fell on the lowlands too, and photos and videos of it are already online.

The snow is falling in the north of the country, among other places. In some spots the layer of white fluff could reach a few centimetres. In the coming hours, more areas may turn white.

The weather is also bringing rain and strong wind to several regions. Forecasters say 11 November, Independence Day in Poland, should be milder. Snow is not expected to fall on the lowlands again that day, but strong wind should stay in part of the country, and weather warnings are likely to return.

If you are heading out, it is time to dig out the warm jacket.
