Snow for the Euros.

[Hicks]

Damn, I knew ulty jinxed it.
Did he get his nuts caught in a vice by now?

[ulty_guy]

come on over baby, i like it hard

[Ripzalot]

Where it go? What happened overnight?

Monday's 6 - 7 day predictions of 30 - 50cm around Zermatt/Saas Fee for this weekend have melted away to 10 - 20cm.

Even that massive dumpage in pink (50 - 100cm) in north-eastern Italy centered around Bornio has disappeared.

SKUNKED! Oh well, must be why they call it weather...whether or not it will snow.

as i explained to al....

6 days - indicates that something is coming
3 days - indicates where that something will fall
24 hrs - indicates how much will fall

all generally speaking of course.

never make plans based on the 6 day forecast. that dump shifted almost immediately after that map was posted. it went from a massive south/east dump to a minor westside dump. things are looking better for our parts. radio guys were saying snow down to lakeside tomorrow morning possible.

you should still get enough to freshen up Saas Fee and Zermatt. Saas Fee is open to 2500m now, which help a bit. Btw, warning - they yank passes for skiing offpiste on the glacier. I know firsthand. Zermatt is more relaxed about it -or maybe I just haven't been busted yet.

Yep.


For all the weather nerds, this is a good place to check out what might/might not come.

clicken kein worken. ist den siten downen?

[bad_roo]

Resort with the most snow forecast right at this very second looks to be Alpe d'Huez. Give it a minute and it'll probably be Schladming. Then Lauterbrunnen. Then St Moritz.

They update regularly.

Was?

Das siten fungieren sehr gut mit meinem compuper.
Daine compuper ist eine grosse sheisse? Ja?

[Hicks]

I don't care for the forecast right now - it's nuking even here in the flats so Northern Alps should get pounded on by tonight.

roo- are you going to wait and book last minute? where do you fly into?

[bad_roo]

Jay - we're driving. I've got a Grand Cherokee booked and we're going to meet up with Mit who's flying into Zurich. I've got options on accommodation in Loser, Axams and Alpe d'Huez, so I'm just holding on to see how things firm up snow-wise. Eastern Austria is a pretty long drive from the Channel Ports and I'd be delighted to see the French Alps get a whole bunch of snow in the next few days.

[subtle plague]

you might find this useful:
snowcover in europe and development every 6 hours.
as you can see right now austria is the place to go
BUT thishas only a 15km resolution so you can only see thegeneral regions with much/little snow and not single mountain ranges.

right now im staring at the development ofa 50cm+ snowcover in belgium in 48h !!
i knew this storm would hit us here in the west, but it should come like this, it would surely be exceptional.

beware of the future cards: They only show the snocover based othe models and may be as unreliable as snow forecast when measureing the new snofall.
the "now" chart is quite accurate concernig snow heights.

woke up to a nice blanket of white! i'm about to go out and find out now much fell. looks like i won't be driving to work today.

i guess snow-forecast was still wrong somehow, no?

[Lostinthetrees]

Yes, we got 12 - 16cm at Versoix (~400m) lakeside.
Should have been 1 - 10cm as predicted by No-4-Kast!

And, guess what, that big PINK blob has reappeared and shifted just Northeast of Bornio towards Kitz & Zel.
The orang's are going to become very agitated as the weekend progresses.

Saas Fee should total 10 - 25cm of fresh. I may cancel. I just cannot stand touching bottom.

If you're storm-chashin' you should be on the road this AM towards Kitz & Zel. The Tyrol's are the where the bottomless will be over the next 3 days.

Leysin 25.Nov.2005

concerning my link: this is a snowcover map not new snow only !

anybody like it ?
hey look at me, i need attention !

edit for something useful: The next few days(up to 7) look really good all over the alps. colder than average and wet conditons are very likely. the east shouldget hammered sunday again, butthe other areas receive as well. i won't do anymoisture outooks concerning the time after sunday, because you know don't wanaendup like snw-forecast
maybe i can get someone to go next week as i had to cancel my trip this week. the early season is developing well this year

[Glisseur]

Finally snowing in La Grave as well, but it still needs close to two meters to be ok to ski without getting a coreshot every 15 meters.

Another precip forecast linkyoumight find useful
high resolution bolam model
they are usually pretty accurate. when you compare the snow forecast maps to the bolams ere youllsee that they actually do not measure any snow on the north side of the alps during a southern airflow. and i really like the red dots in bovec on the 60h map .(80cm in 12h) to sum up the snow you have to add the map values every 12h start with24 then 36h and so on.

[hug]Come here...[/hug]

The first map seems to be relatively accurate, but the lower one seem a bit bonked.
The snow cover growth doesnt seem to correlate with any of the aviable weater maps? It just like,doesnt develope?


Btw, how about the resorts around Innsbruck?
Gonna hit them withing 1 week,so...

To the north-west and east, where the snow seems to be?
What resorts are the worthwile skiing?
I have lost my AdAc map so it is a bit hard to come up with the resorts.

Anyone?

[Hayduke]

What are the 2 ranges for on the left of this one http://imk-ifu.fzk.de/de/wetter/15km...km.htm#pagetop


Left =snow right = rain?

Nice links SP......happy now

[Lostinthetrees]

concerning my link: ...
anybody like it ?
hey look at me, i need attention !

thanks for the links! very useful to compare against what I have.

Again, I would like to re-ask Hayduke's question. Is the left hand scale snow fall depth expected, or, moisture content of clouds expected to fall in any form...

and, the right-hand scale is ?

[subtle plague]

both snow. they want to be preared for another '99

right scale continues the left and goes up to 900cm of snow
