The snow line is so low that we will find cold blowers at all altitudes. And the wind is also playing along: since our current is actually quite cozy, it's not blowing all the way to Milan either. The problem is that it will be a really pure northerly storm and most of the snow will fall in the foothills of the Alps or the typical accumulation areas. There will be significantly less on the main ridge, i.e. 50 percent less than in the foothills of the Alps.
Where will there be how much by Wednesday morning?
In the South and in France nothing, from the Lower Valais to Central Switzerland there will be some cosmetic powder in the 10 to 20 cm range and from there it will go steeply upwards. In Glarus and Alpstein it is currently 25 to 40 cm and then rises to 50 to 70 cm towards Arlberg. After that it should be 35 to 60 cm in North Tyrol and it will stay that high up to the KitzbĂĽhel Alps. In the northernmost northern congestion, mind you.
Further east, the amounts should then decrease again and from Salzburg to the Rax it will be 40 to 20 cm, decreasing from west to east. However, this is only the current status, as this small marginal disturbance is currently targeting the Arlberg and North Tyrol. However, if this fickle system weakens or shifts 100 km to the west or east, my painstakingly created boundaries will become obsolete. After all, it wasn't even in there two days ago.
