Significant Snow Coming In – The Outlook Ahead

Looking increasingly likely that significant snow is coming in from this afternoon through to Friday and probably Saturday morning too – also looking like continuing unsettled next week out of the reliable time frame but importantly staying cold for a decent amount of time with fronts pushing in from the West but this time with a more Northerly spin on them – Excellent skiing and snowboarding conditions look certain for the majority of March now surely and with the Sudden Stratospheric Warming phenomenon likely, it could be a seriously snowy March.

This week has seen more regular smaller snowfalls after missing out on the Southern & Eastern Alps storm at the weekend – the pic below shows a covering overnight at the Bouc Blanc requiring another clear of the terrace this morning.

The outlook from the GFS Wigglies shows this snow coming in (bottom lines) and the temperature drop in the middle (red line is 30 year average).

Meanwhile Mètèo France once again gives up on trying to be accurate for the week ahead forecast – just decides on snow all week…

La Tania was fairly clear first thing this morning but clouds have already rolled in and snow expected this afternoon…
