North America was hit by incredibly cold temperatures over the holidays, while we in the German-speaking Alpine region experienced another very mild and green Christmas. We discuss the causes and effects, and also take a look at the outlook for the coming weeks. Can winter finally begin?

The people behind the article

Written by

Sebastian Müller

I grew up skiing in the Bavarian Forest and then, during my college years, I became a freerider and ski tourer. When I arrived in Trieste in 2019, I had to admit that skis with a 115mm waist width aren’t always the best choice in the Dolomites and the Julian Alps. I’ve been working for Powderguide since 2019 as a meteorologist, developer of PG-Weather, and former ski video specialist. Val Saisera is my favorite place for ski touring. I bake bread, apple strudel, and frico.

WeatherBlog 5 2022/23 | User question and warm, windy Christmas thaw

12/21/2022 • Lea Hartl

A user question has reached the WeatherBlog: How many days per winter is there snow in Obergurgl? Where can you find data on this? We are always happy to receive questions and especially those that we can answer to some extent! The weather is not very Christmassy, with little snow and too warm, so we prefer to think about other things and today we are looking at weather data from Obergurgl.
WeatherBlog 4 2022/23 | Borderline weather situation, milder with Föhn in the next few days

12/14/2022 • Lea Hartl

An air mass boundary is keeping us busy today. The cold air of the last few days is slowly giving way to warmer air masses from the south. This will lead to dangerous black ice on the roads on the northern edge of the Alps. Apart from that, the borderline weather situation will initially bring some precipitation in the north and then a change to foehn-like, milder weather.
