PowderAlert 11/2014 | The Monster Dump II: Disaster alert

You won't hear it from me often, but at the moment it would be disrespectful to the people who are cowering in their basements and fearing for their lives and I actually see it like this: Ullr has seen sense and it will finally stop snowing soon. Sunday evening will be the end of the doomsday amounts. But before that, in the disaster regions from Adamello eastwards, there will still be around 70 to 100 cm, in extreme cases possibly up to 120 cm. That would be a 4-day total of up to 300 cm or 3 meters of the white dream material - or in this case nightmare. In places, the whole thing has fallen victim to the clouding and became more or less damp during the course of the day on Friday, depending on the inner-Alpine location and altitude up to 1800 m. Too bad. In the west of the south, from Monte Rosa to the Upper Engadine, it should be another 30 to 50 cm, possibly 60 cm in some backwater areas towards the east of this region. Hardly anything will arrive in the Maritime Alps, just like in the Austrian northern Alps, where the Föhn is still really hungry and gnawing away at the sparse snow cover. It will only be interesting on the northern slopes of the Alps from Switzerland to the Arlberg, because from the Bernese Alps to the Goms, Galarus, the Gotthard region, northern Grisons and parts of Valais, 25 to 50 cm should be possible with the passage of the cold front, with the maximum in the middle of northern Switzerland and less towards the edges. The snow line will start at 1600 to 1700 m at the edges in the south and will be significantly lower in the inner Alps. By Sunday, it will drop below 1000 m everywhere again and provide some fluffy replenishment on the cement foundation. It should break up here and there on Monday, but it won't be completely sunny and it may snow again here and there on Tuesday. In the medium term, it still looks like there will be supplies, as the general weather situation won't change significantly. Powder to the people who still want it!Your oracle
