Snow report Central Switzerland, 12/27/2014

Snow condition

I would almost give it 3 stars for the amount, it really dumped a lot here, in my opinion the 80cm came from the SLF or even more further up. In the valley maybe half a meter, but since this is the first snow up to almost 2000m, the base is missing like everywhere in the north.

Snow quality

Very chic. Dry, fluffy, a lot, if it weren't for the missing base.

Certainly tense. It's been snowing for almost 2 days straight, sometimes more, sometimes less. Yesterday extremely strong winds, today only weak. If the visibility improves tomorrow, you'll have to be more than careful further up.

Overall impression

Today you could really have fun! A little less pessimism please, the amounts of fresh snow are quite considerable in the right places and it's still snowing, O.K. missing base, stones, trees etc, no matter you could have fun... PS: the approach was very interesting yesterday morning. In the Allgäu heavy snowfall until Bregenz, then in the Rhine valley near Sargans as good as nothing here the storm really swept, in the valley there were maybe 2, 3 centimeters...Then from the Glarus exit again heavier snowfall in Lucerne then sleet... The whole thing varied greatly.
