It's been six weeks since the last alarm. Everyone has already unpacked their mountain bikes or is desperately trying to find firn under the Sahara sand. But now Ullr has finally seen sense and is actually sending us powder again. Without much wind and all the way down. Why he's only doing this now and not earlier remains a mystery of metaphysics, or rather the deadlocked northern hemispheric circulation of recent weeks.
Alert period and areas
The alert extends from northern France to the Rax in the east, but the core will stretch from the northern Valais to the Arlberg. However, it will probably also snow in the south, as an Italian low is expected to form. There, however, more in the Maritime Alps and to the east from the Dolomites onwards.
The alert will last until around Saturday evening. A few flakes may still fall here and there on Sunday, but nothing earth-shattering.
