PowderAlert 6 2021/22 | The Tropical Alert

This isn't actually a PowderAlert.

by Lars Oelmann 12/28/2021
Today's "Powder" alert is more of an official PowderGuide precipitation bulletin. Greetings, time travelers! You have traveled to the year 2070 and arrived in a normal winter.

The coming precipitation period is normal and ski resorts are only to be found above 3000m. Before this alert, there was an internal discussion as to whether the current situation was a PowderAlert at all, or simply passed on to the weather bloggers. (The good news first: it won't stay so hellishly warm. More on this in the medium term). But even in 2070, temperatures 10-15 degrees above the long-term average are not the new normal. An exceptional weather situation is on the horizon. Unfortunately, climate change only favors such extremes in one direction. Upwards.

Ullr is actually quite active in the northern hemisphere. Scandinavia, the USA and Japan are having a good stretch of winter at the moment, but we're getting tropical vibes.

Well, yes. Here comes the Jamaican style reggae alert.

Alert period and areas

Well, it's raining everywhere on the northern slopes of the Alps. But most of all from France to the Arlberg

.

Wind

It doesn't really matter, because rain doesn't form brittle, triggerable accumulations.

Snow line

First above 2000m, then above 2800m in the west and 2500m in the east. At the very end possibly again at 2300-2400m.

The full snowfall amounts will be from 2700m-3000m. The full amounts of rain below 2000-2200m.

The amounts

At the very top it snows everywhere around 30-50cm. In the core in the west, this can also be a good meter from 3000m.

Where should I go?

Well... to the Aiguille du Midi? To Neuss to the ski hall? Because after the rain, it's going to be EVEN warmer over New Year's Eve with a zero degree limit at 3500m, or so.

The Oracle will ring in the New Year with Caribbean vibes on the Mediterranean and attend a steel drum course to find its Inner Sunshine, which it then wants to market on Tiktok. Maybe the rain will at least solve our low-layer problem up in the high mountains.

Mid-term

A silver lining on the horizon? From January 2, there are signs of seasonable weather again, possibly even with real snowfall below 2000m !

Snowy high betting game

No betting on rain - no discussion. Prediction game hopes for cold snowfalls in the new year!

Rain to the people!
