It might be the third day of spring today but the weather certainly feels more like the depths of winter. Gale force northerly winds have been blowing for two days, bringing down trees and forcing the Dubrovnik Bridge to close, and overnight snow came back to the county.
During the night snow fell on the hills of Konavle, south of Dubrovnik, as well as on the Peljesac Peninsular. Winter conditions for driver are in force in Konavle with the police stating that there is between two and three centimetres of snow on many roads.
The arctic situation is the same on Peljesac with some roads actually closed due to the weather conditions.
The weather forecast for the weekend is for an increase in temperatures and sunshine, meaning that this should be the last Dubrovnik sees of snow.
