The big snowfall has started – already 10cm of fresh snow and lots more coming..
One of the most solidly forecast storms predicted over a week ago has for once gathered in size rather than faded away as it hits The Alps.
The GFS ensembles above showing huge precipitation (bottom lines) and a plunge in temperatures to nearly -15°C top lines. Each line is a different forecast model or compilation, the red line a 30 year average.
Heavy snow today with a little respite Saturday and significant snow on Sunday and Monday (could be some rain at resort level at times but nothing to worry about as the wave of warmer air precedes the weather front) followed by further snow showers becoming heavier towards the end of the week if it all pans out.
There are some seriously crazy automated global forecasts out there – The Daily Express would be proud (predicting worst Winters ever for 10 years and at it again today).
SNOWMAGEDON once again? Bring it on, certainly one of the best starts to a season for years…
