German term or phrase: Nordstaulage
Ich brauche den Begriff fuer eine Touristenbroschuere. Hier die Definition was Nordstaulage ist:
Bei Nordstaulage liegt ein Hoch im Westen und ein Tief im Osten. Dazwischen fließt kalte polare Luft aus dem Norden Richtung Süden, woraus sich Niederschläge auf der Nordseite ergeben. Nordstau tritt vor allem im Frühjahr und Winter auf und für die angestauten Gebiete bedeutet dies ausgeprägte Schlechtwetterlagen.

and Troughs and Nordstau lead mainly to light snow showers. Ongoing from the end of September snowfall can be expected, from January to April typical snow depth varies between 1 and 2 m (Figure 2).
