Ullr and his exotic, southern beauty called Italy Low decided otherwise and we're probably just getting a little dump in a tiny area.
In a department store, you'd hear the announcement now: "The little genoa low is looking for its mother. It's waiting at the checkout in southern Piedmont and can be picked up".
And that justifies the overuse of the diminutive. So let's celebrate the Alertlein here, the Alertle of the Swabians or the Alärtli of the Swiss, because like small children it's quite cute, but you shouldn't place great hope in it saving the world or the season.
This is especially true as it is almost only brings snow in southern Piedmont, the region that has been doing quite well since Christmas and is also the only (?) region in the Alps not to have an old snow problem. Apart from the regions that have no problem at all because there is no snow. I don't know what's sadder: little snow, which you can hardly ski if you value your life, or virtually no snow at all.
Alert period and areas
The alert goes from the Maritime Alps to the Simplon and the core from the Turin Alps to the Maritime Alps. Elsewhere you won’t get anything or cosmetics.
The alert lasts until late Monday evening.
