The question is: are we still up for it, or are we already sitting in a rocking chair on the veranda with iced tea and enjoying our retirement? Are we back with a vengeance, or are we already thinking about summer, or at least glacier tours and firn excursions at 5 o'clock in the morning? The answer is up to you. The oracle will probably try again. It saddles up the camper van and rides out into the south-western Alps. Let's see if it finds powder or glop©. It will definitely be wild in the west!
Alert period and areas
With the coming südstau, there is snow everywhere in the southern Alps in the high mountains, but it will probably only be worth it in a small area in the southwest, Valais and central Switzerland.
Which brings us to the north, because in a small Swiss sweet spot, the precipitation should spread northwards, but the cold should also seep in from the northwest, so it could be quite nice there.
The alert lasts until Friday morning.
Wind
Foehn in the north, but not much wind in the Stau and in the areas where it spreads north over the main alpine ridge because the whole thing is a bit tied to a quasi front or pseudo countercurrent system, where cool air flows in from the northwest, while the stau comes from the southeast. Sounds complicated? It is, but it can also provide powder further up if the temperatures are right.
