Weather and snow conditions
The northerly dust situation is now slowly turning, but it has delivered big time. Colleague Orakel and the weather models have forecast the snowfall well, only some conditions reporters claim that the precipitation amounts were even underestimated. The snow cover, which had been thin up until then, was in desperate need of this and the SLF in Switzerland promptly saw largely above-average snow depths. It also snowed a lot in Tyrol and saved the snow situation to some extent. But there was also a lot of wind. As a result, the avalanche risk was assessed as high in some places and still considerably above the tree line. The snowpack structure was assessed as poor, probably also due to the early winter with little snow, and the size of some of the avalanches was extremely large after blasting.
