Arnold Studeregger is part of the avalanche warning service at ZAMG in Styria. We spoke to him about the development of the Styrian LWD, the biggest innovations and his favorite snow profile

The PowderGuide weather service is back so you can follow the snowfall forecast for the weekend on the PowderMap again! As usual, in addition to new snow forecasts, a forecast text and the SNOWGRID and sunshine maps are also available.

The WeatherBlog kicks off the season and gets in the mood for the approaching winter in the autumn sunshine. Initially, there will be little change to the established general weather situation. The forecast becomes uncertain at the weekend. A cold front is likely to bring cooling. There are moderate precipitation options for the Alpine region, but they are on shaky ground.

It's that time of year again: the mountains are covered in snow, you slowly need a sweater and jacket in the valley again, the season and group ski passes justify the latest price increases, the first turns on the glaciers, PowderGuide starts the season. We're not quite in regular operation yet, but are gliding step by step towards winter as usual.

The weather is set to be changeable over the next few days, with not-so-bad snow options, especially from next week. We are keeping our fingers crossed that the crystal ball is not mistaken and maintains its current vision. Long-term visions for the future are unfortunately much less snowy, reports the ZAMG.

Over the last few days, the media has repeatedly reported on collapsed roofs in the snowy regions south of the main Alpine ridge. How much snow load must a roof actually be able to withstand and how many kilograms of snow are currently on Austria's roofs?

The influence of low pressure will remain until the weekend. It will continue to flake here and there, but the extreme snowfall - more on this in the current alert - will come to an end. This is a good thing for the core areas of the southern congestion.

The PowderGuide weather service is available again as usual from today. We hope the winter will give us a jolt and our PowderMap will soon be really colorful again! As before, there are SNOWGRID and sunshine maps as well as a short text forecast.

To cut a long story short, the weather will remain as it is for the time being. There will only be a change in the next few days in the form of a few spring clouds. In the north there may be - how exciting! - there might even be a shower at the weekend.

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.

The Alpine region lies between a low in the south and a wide-ranging bridge of high pressure that spans us in the north. We are on the borderline between "cool and mostly sunny" and "cloudy and often wet". The cold easterly flow will remain with us.

Somehow it feels like winter is just beginning, at least if you are traveling in the areas currently blessed with fresh snow. Winter in terms of meteorological statistics, on the other hand, has come to an end at the turn of the month and the weather services are presenting their reviews.
