PowderAlert 13.5/2013 | Mini-Dump in the South

After a short break, the oracle is back with a half alarm. Half? Why half? Well, it's snowing at the moment, but outside of Piedmont, it's just a sprinkling of powdered sugar. However, 30-50 cm of snow has fallen there so far, and there are more than 40 cm to come as a second helping. But not even students travel almost as far as the Mediterranean to ski during the week, do they? The snow line there was/is even suitable for powder from just over 1000 m due to the direction of the current, despite our warm weather. So, if you're looking for fresh snow, you should head for Italy or look very high up in our climes. However, the warmth will also arrive there from tomorrow until Monday, so any snowfall here and in eastern Italy will probably come as rain below 1500-1800 m until Monday. Will that be it with the powder? In the next few days, unfortunately. But, as announced in the forum, the weather seems to be getting colder again from the weekend with new snowfalls. So far, the amounts only look alarming in the south (but then also at a drivable distance), but we'll worry about that from Monday when the cold slowly seeps in. In the medium and long term, it looks more good than bad towards the Easter vacations and the weekend before around March 17th, so Ullr could well give us another gift. Powder to the people!
