PowderAlert 9 2021/22 | Finally in the East!

The glorious remnants of the K&K monarchy are finally getting some white foam on their Viennese Melange and the season can be ushered in on the powder. If I could, I'd gather my last shillings and visit Hermann Maier for a Red Bull, because we here in the West are staring sadly into our cheese fondue and don't know what to make of the forecasts. Not to mention the viewers from the Italian internet, who have had to fret all season.

Ok, enough with the clichés.

Alert period and areas

The alert goes from eastern North Tyrol to Vienna, with the core going from the Salzkammergut to the Rax. The alert lasts until Sunday evening, although it has already started to snow. Before Saturday, however, this is more just cosmetics or a soft base for the real snowfall.

Where should I go?

On Fridays, if you're free anyway, you can slide around on a meadow. But you don't have to.

On Saturday, the meadows should be more fun and the forest, if you know there's a base there, should be fine too.

On Sunday, the forest is open almost everywhere. After that, it's likely to stop for a while, but it will stay cool, so the odd horse-drawn carriage ride to the Zirbnwirt on the Hüttn should be possible.

Mid-term

Ullr has unfortunately set a fairly well-worn pattern until the end of January, so the west and south can't hold out much hope due to the nearby UK or Central European high. In the east, we're so close to possible troughs that something could even happen again in the Land of the Court Councillors by the last weekend of January.

But it's staying cool so far, so at least there won't be much thawing where there's snow on the north side.

Powder to the Non-Piefkes!

Your oracle!
