PowderAlert 11 2017/18 | In the south it's "This Alarm goes to Eleven"

Ullr is at it again, bringing snow to our Alps, and although it's going to be a south(west) jam, I have good news about the snow line. In the southeast it's going to be real, deep and cold. It will be very pretty in the rest of the south and quite nice in the west. There may be something in the north afterwards, but more on that in the medium term.

Alert area and period

Area: French Alps, especially Maritime Alps, and in the south from Ticino (possibly Simplon) to Slovenia.

Time period: Until Thursday morning. In the north there will probably be an alarm tomorrow evening, which will follow seamlessly.

Snow line

At the beginning around or in Ticino and inner Alps below 1000m, possibly also 1200m in the southeast and then sinks (sic!) further down until Thursday. In France it may rain up to 1500m, especially in the north-west, thanks to foehn effects, but then it will probably transition seamlessly into the north-west alert afterwards. So real powder in the south this time!

Where should I go?

I would only go to France if you are there. In the rest of the south, I'd try tomorrow in the trees and then carefully further up on Thursday. I see it similarly in the far southeast, although it might not break up there until Thursday afternoon-evening, which would then shift the whole thing to Friday.

Mid-term

First cold and northwesterly tomorrow evening, then probably rather "meh" and warm over New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. Then maybe west-northwest again with okay snowfall. Or not, because it will change to southwest. It's still quite uncertain what kind of westerly flow is coming, the only certainty is that a westerly flow is coming.

That's why I'm asking for your help at the Ullrschrein to make it just as nice as it is now after the holidays!

So dear Southeasterners: "Enjoy the Show"

I'm sure it will be quite impressive this time.

Powder to the people!
