As announced, here is the Thursday update. The predicted amounts of 70-100 cm have already fallen across the board and, especially in eastern Switzerland, sometimes significantly more than the 50-70 cm with the 20 cm bonus, because interestingly there was no border through central Switzerland to the main precipitation areas in the west, which is probably due to the model orography, in which the east is simulated less high. Even the 120 cm have become full here and there outside France. This alert is valid until Sunday evening, as something is likely to move in again on Monday. What will happen? You might think the alerts are set to repeat, because once again it says: The biggest amounts should come down from western Switzerland to France in the Hautes Alpes region. This time, however, we are not in the meter +X range but in the 25-60 cm range in the main precipitation areas. And since the path of the train is apparently not exactly predictable, it is not yet clear exactly where it will accumulate in this zone. But there is not much room for improvement. From central Switzerland to Tyrol, there is a somewhat uncertain strip in which 15-30 cm could well come down, although there could also be an extra 10-20 cm of white Nikolaus surprise, especially in Switzerland. Ullr also has a little moisture in the 10-20 cm range in store for our starving eastern alpine broadleaf skiers. In the south, at most a cosmetic flake will fall from the sky with this inflow, although the low pressure could graze southern Slovenia again.
Saturday will probably be mostly cloudy, so you should rather let off steam in the trees, while Sunday will be the first sunny day in a week and should therefore be the first comprehensive powder day. However, this also means: be extremely careful, because in some areas 1.5 m will have fallen completely undisturbed by skiers, which wouldn't be a bad thing in itself if it weren't for the fact that it could also conceal poisonous sliding layers. So check your LLBs and don't let the early-season tarantula bite! Powder to the people!Your Oracle
