They are simply not accurate

Hence why I rely on this thread for my info(!),
and do my best to provide REAL data for snow searching maggots.

I only hope you are all telling the truth,
and not trying to keep me out of your lines!

I won't. I never do.

Here is where I jerk off to the thought of coming snow:
http://www.met.fu-berlin.de/wetter/meteosat/met_512.mpg

Note: it takes me about 7 plays to see what might happen in the near future.

TeleAl's ForeCast:
One can see from today's image that the cold high pressure system over Suisse
is pushing hard against that moist front from the Atlantic Ocean
:cussing: :cussing: :cussing: :cussing:
which is trying to paste the Southern French Alps and/or Pyrenees.
:tdo13: :tdo13: :tdo13: (why don't these guys smile?)
Also, the light snow we are getting is little more than a swirl caught in the cold NE high.

Mid-lower Italy seems to be getting wet, as does Ireland and Bretagne.
How'm I doin'?

Fucking Rocket Science.

Do you need a hug .... ?

At least you have the alps on your doorstep...

I'm staring out the window at sheet rain dropping from a grey sky knowing i'm at least 800 miles from the nearest skiable mountain.I'm still happy its winter and there's more snow in the alps than last years december rockfest.

Positive mental attitude .... gotta love it.

-35 + warm moist front coming in from the atlantic = lots of lumpy big snow for the western alps.

Chamonix has 30 cms dialled in over the next 3-4 days ..... B'stards

Stand up, extend both arms , raise both middle fingers. Say calmly 'F@ck you all right in the ear!' and walk out the door.

Life can't be simpler than that (if only)....

Now that is more like it! After a dry spell on the Southwestern side (Valais) of CH...
We're getting snow to celebrate the New Year!

http://img.snow-forecast.com/images2...wnext3days.jpg

Snowing alongside Lac Leman since 6PM and counting. Fine, fine sugar.
With this cold air mass in place it should be heavenly come Sunday AM.
Happy Trails to All!

edit: hmmmm...where did those resort location indicators go on our Alpes maps?!?

31st Lakeside: some rain, some blue skies, more rain and clear skies to follow all day long.

No worry. Freezing levels to fall throughout the day to ~800m by this evening.

Sunday and Monday freezing level to remain at 600m.

Sunday is the day 4 us. Early chair up at Champoussin, PDS.
