Snow Forecast Summary - 8th November 2007
Published : 08-Nov-2007 09:37
From our weekly Snow e-mail (if you're not subscribed - you should be!) :-A week is a long time in Snow Forecasting... just six days ago we said snow was unlikely much before the 10th; how wrong we were. This weeks big news is that a storm originally predicted to bring a little snow to the Eastern edge of The Alps had ideas of its own and has plastered much of Austria, prompting the first official warnings of "snow chaos" for the next few days.
This morning we see lesser quantities of snow on the ground across Switzerland and the northern-most regions of Italy.
The week ahead looks set to be colder than average (for the time of year) with more snow in the forecast over the weekend - particularly for Austria, where some resorts could see anything up to half a metre accumulating. At this point it's not entirely clear how far South and West the current snow will spread but the Northern French Alps should see 10cm or so over the weekend.
Keep an eye on the Snow Reports on j2ski - we'll be updating these throughout the day as the resorts start reporting how much fresh they've just received. We'd also expect the forecast, particularly for French and Italian Ski Resorts, to be quite dynamic over the next few days as the snow decides exactly how far to go.
Bring it on,
