Snow for the Euros.

[wildstyle]

Ya think you guyz could use a lowland tele-dude?

Tele doods are most welcome .....

[wildstyle]

I'm going to stick my kneck out based on my rudimentary knowledge of weather systems .

I think it will be clear for this weekend , the earliest possible snow will be tues / wed of next week. Not much though. It's likely to change into the latter part of the following weekend ( 21/22nd) and i think that week ( 22-25) will be a moderate amount of snow.

All of this is based on the collection of data from the MET office and about 5 weather sites including ones in the US and canada.


If i'm wrong, feel free to chuck stuff at me. If i'm right , chuck snowballs at me instead.....

At the very least tell me it is likely to happen, but please be convincing.

First snow in the long range forecast is for next wednesday and we need it. Even the longer ski tours are getting tracked out.

Hey ripz, any chance you can hook up with us in Chamonix for that week .... 25-28th Jan?

i'm thinking about it. depends on how well healed my wrist will be at that time. i'll know next week. i'm guessing about a 50/50 chance. i need to creep back into my game slowly. not taking any chances.

put me down on the tenative list, svp.

Let's hope you're right. However, even the usually over-confident snow-forecast.com shows nothing at all for the 168 hours (until Wednesday 1pm).

forget it.
there is not even the slight chance for a change in the next 7 days.

[Ripzalot]

ahhhh, relief is showing up on the 6day. right on time.

[Franz Klammer]

Oh yes! (Get excited about 5cm ....)

But on the other hand, Powslut's link now shows sunshine for the next 7 days ...

yeah but this time something is moving in the models as the snow-forecast link indicates. it seems to be getting wetter, but maybe also warmer.
it should be clearer on sunday.

[Franz Klammer]

Looked again at the snow-forecast.com links and the model is quite different now. Southern France getting the most and Appenines - so not so much love for St. Anton. I have a feeling that it's not going to amount to much anyway.

[subtle plague]

models are shifting quite a lot right now.
the worst(and very probable ) possibility is that a new high may be born.

[Ripzalot]

another model shift. colors gettin purty. watch out towards the middle of next week.

I'm still sticking to my prediction ..... Lets hope it pans out ...

[subtle plague]

everything is possible right now.
some models see it dump(snow forecast gfs model) and than want russian cold to reach the eastern alps.
others make it warm and wet.
the new run from gfs has intensified the italian low which would mean dumpage on the south side.
i guess sun/mon the development should be clearer. and even than the situation is uncertain.

[wildstyle]

Is anyone going to be in chamonix from the 17th - 24th January ? I may have some v.cheap accomodation in a luxury apartment for some maggots ...

[verbier61]

the highly venerable meteosuisse says snow is possible in suisse romande this coming tuesd.......

[powslut]

the forecast keeps getting better and better for the arlberg.

[greg]

yeah it's looking better and better for the alps. but I'm betting more on the south and east.. (once again)
