The lucky ConditionsReporters who made it to Piedmont, spoiled by PowderAlerts, can enjoy friendly touring weather over the next few days. For the rest of the Alps, it will be a little more unstable. Particularly in the east, the general development and especially the precipitation options are not yet easy to assess thanks to the indecisive development of low pressure and a fickle air mass boundary.

Many people are currently showing a new or perhaps just rediscovered interest in gardening, sourdough and looking out of the window. The weather is crucial for two of these things anyway, and if you take sourdough seriously, you can also think about the local kitchen microclimate. So, as always, there's plenty of reason to talk about the weather.

Avalanche warning products often only refer to the "classic spring situation". But what are the "non-classical spring situations"? This time it's about the three non-classical of the four different snowpack scenarios in spring.

The Working Group of Austrian Avalanche Warning Services has published its seasonal report for winter 2018/19. As always, the report not only contains statistical evaluations of the past avalanche winter, but also many detailed and impressively illustrated analyses of specific accidental avalanches. In addition to the LWDs of the Austrian federal states, the SLF and the LWD South Tyrol are also represented with guest contributions.

In order to avoid overlapping or merely restating the current situation - which has already been analyzed in detail in the WeatherBlog, in PowderAlert and by the avalanche warning services - we turn to other topics.
