Weather / Snow Outlook & Extreme Cold Warning

A light covering of snow last night – one the Bouc Blanc guys weren’t expecting as they left their terrace set up overnight!

No significant Atlantic weather systems on the horizon for the next week or so but a chance of some snow on Friday night / Saturday morning with precipitation bubbling up from the South East.

The main weather story is the cold temperatures however.

While staying cold and plenty of Sun through this week there’s a good chance that the cold blast from deepest Russia will lead to double figure minus temperature at resort level on Monday / Tuesday.

The GFS models showing the plunge in temperature below:

A lot has been made of the Sudden Stratospheric Warming (SSW) and Polar Vortex collapse phenomenon but it does look like this is allowing this cold blast right through to Western Europe.

We’ve had a temperature of -14°C at resort level this season already so it will be interesting to see if that is beaten (lowest ever on the latania.co.uk weather station is -19°C in 2002).

So if you’re coming out next week maybe bring an extra layer and make sure little ones have all their skin covered up especially if you’re high up.

There’s some snow on some forecasts for the middle of next week too but a bit far out to be sure yet.

Whatever, the snow depths and general piste skiing are all excellent at the moment. Enjoy…
