Early winter conditions arrived in the South Tyrol region, with snow covering valleys above 1,200 meters in areas such as Badia, Dobbiaco, and Sesto. Provincial meteorologist Dieter Peterlin attributed the phenomenon to moist Mediterranean air colliding with colder air masses over the Alps.

As the weather event progressed, significant snowfall was reported in eastern South Tyrol, specifically in towns like Stern, Toblach, and Sexten. The highest accumulations reached approximately 10 centimeters at Rotwandwiesen, located at an altitude of 1,900 meters. The influx of snow and dropping temperatures were expected to accelerate the seasonal closure of high-mountain roads. While some ski areas began operations, forecasts indicated a temporary reprieve as drier air masses moved in and temperatures were expected to rise.
