European Weather and Snow This Coming Week

The coming week

Yet more heavy snowfall has been reported from USA and Canada. 

Some West Coast ski resorts have reported falls of up to1m of powder
 this past week.

The general situation in Europe has not yet altered, although some 
Scandinavian resorts reported some respectable falls this week.

In The Alps, the best conditions remain to the South of the main Alpine
 rim with Cervinia opening 1,500m of vertical, from Plan Maison to the top.

Elsewhere the SkiWelt and other resorts in Austria have postponed their 
openings,** although cool temperatures have permitted more snow-making 
here and in France.

It does look, at last, as if the snow famine is about to break. Temperatures 
and pressures are forecast for this weekend, together with light precipitation 
in several areas through to Monday. Scattered and light snow showers are 
possible across most of the region, with snow falling as low as 1,500m from 
Saturday thro to next week.

Precipitation 2-12-2011

After the weekend, the freezing intensity across most of The Alps should
 keep falling, possibly to 1,100m by Monday evening - the forecast models 
are indicating heavy snowfalls in many areas by then.

For now, the heaviest snows look likely to fall to the Northern Alps, although 
the forecast will change over the course of the next few days.

Further swathes of snow look likely to pass through the Alpine region later 
next week and significant local falls are likely..
