Overall impression
Snow condition
wow - the storm and rain have done a great job. in the valleys at around 800m, all that's left is about 10cm of compacted, soaking wet snow. at 1200m maybe 40cm and in the summits of the western allgäu at 18-1900m about 60cm. it rained here too...
Snow quality
subterraneanly bad. soaking bad, cruel, beastly bad...
Risks
there's hardly any snow left at lower altitudes, so not much should happen there, except perhaps mudslides, see photo, unbelievable and that in January... in higher regions, it's certainly even more critical. here, both sliding snow and drifting snow are likely to be an issue.
Overall impression
after a brilliant week in central switzerland and the anticipation of seeing good conditions in the allgäu now this. really cruel. a winter dream is created within 3-4 days and then destroyed again in just over a day...and the prospects are bad...
