Snowfall limit
This time, Ullr isn't sending us a rollercoaster, but more of a rocket test with a slow parachute landing. At the moment it is still snowing down to the lowlands, but it will soon go way up. In western Switzerland and France up to 2000m or just above, in eastern Switzerland/Arlberg 1600-1800m and in the very east of Austria later to 1000-1400m.
In the inner Alps, e.g. in Valais or in the northern Gadin or parts of Tyrol, it can stay much lower for much longer - how far and how long is a guessing game.
Friday the whole thing slowly sinks a few hundred meters lower before it then sinks everywhere to below 1000m from Saturday afternoon. In the inner Alps, it could possibly last until Friday and bring much deeper snow throughout. Or not.
The amounts
Look quite good and 40-60cm of snow is expected from France to the Arlberg. In the core of the area from central Switzerland or the eastern Bernese Oberland to the Arlberg/western North Tyrol, it could even reach 80cm. It's difficult to say whether it could be a tad more in accumulation areas and depends heavily on Saturday and the cold snow, but I don't really see the magic meter.
East of the core there will be around 20-30cm and there may also be an alarm-worthy 40cm somewhere in an accumulation area, but only in three days, so you're more likely to have the feeling on Sunday on tour that it might have been enough to cause an alarm.
