Brace yourselves: Here comes the cold … and perhaps snow

The first snow of the year has fallen either on or before November 21 in 17 out of the past 20 years

November is on pace to be the warmest in Danish history, but those aspirations could take a cold wind to the face in the near future.

According to TV2’s weather prediction, Denmark could be getting its first layer of snow this coming weekend when a cold weather front descends upon the country on Saturday or Sunday.

Sweden and Finland have already seen temperatures of -5 degrees during the day and it is this weather front from the north which is moving in Denmark’s direction.

November 21 limit
Over the past 20 years, the first snow of the year has fallen either on or before November 21 a total of 17 times, so the odds are looking good. Although last year, the first snow didn’t fall until December 11.

The national weather forecasters DMI also have temperatures dropping dramatically on the weekend, with temperatures dipping well below freezing at night.
