"All good things come in fives," thinks Ullr and invents a new saying. For a comparable series of five massive Nordstau periods within just over two weeks, you have to dig a long time in the archives and even the movie franchises, which I like to use here for inspiration, don't give much more apart from various star sagas and Fast and Furious. Normally, it's over after the usual trilogies and even three northern jams in a row are a rarity.
In some places, we're already in the range of long-standing records before Alarm 8, all of which would otherwise be from March or February. This shows just how exceptional this northbound traffic jam has been in recent weeks. But everything has an end (only the sausage has two) and this alert should be followed by a longer period of relaxation, but more on that in the medium term.
In this alert, Ullr remains at warp 5 and goes to the edge of the known snow depth universe, so to speak. Whether there will really be records in the east then will certainly depend on how well it jams up there, but we're not missing much. We're still a long way from records in the west, but in eastern Switzerland and on the Arlberg there should also be an exceptional amount of snow after this alarm. Again, there will be far more than a meter, but this time the core is in the west.
Alert period and areas
This alert goes from northern France all the way east to the Rax. There are large amounts from the Bernese Oberland to the east, with the core with the really wild totals from the Bernese Oberland to the Arlberg.
This alert goes until noon on Tuesday.
Wind
It pushes up to the main ridge, we have gales and severe storms. The SLF thinks a 5 is possible on Monday and nobody can or wants to ride up there anyway. You already know this from the last alerts. This alert is no tamer than its apocalyptic predecessors.
