snowscreen, It'll be tonight / tomorrow. Build-up is very light though .... there is still snow on t'hills though , so have fun sliding

After tonight/tomorrow's squizzle of snow/sleet/rain (depending at what level you're at) there's nary a sign of owt else until early next week and it's a bit warm then. Possible signs of significant accumudumpulations of snowiness from middle of next week onwards, with the freezing level showing hints that it may gradually drop down as we creep into March. As things stand, it'll be raining on the lower slopes from midweek onwards with the snow/rain line gradually dropping.
There are one or two scary ensemble members... sorry... target audience... I mean "wigglies", of course... that are showing signs of getting on their bikinis and slapping on the factor 50 though, so I hope they get all unexpectedly cold and goosebumpy by way of retribution.

snowscreen, my version of snow-forecast is showing rain for Les Gets, except on the very peaks. Lots of rain in the village.  But the FL might well come down as time goes on.

takoon, i'm the same .. off to Bad Gastein on Sat. I think i'll be going to the spa rather than going skiing - I think i'll be drier in the spa.

Is It starting to look really good for the french alps the 29th onward?
My limited understanding seems to decipher that theres a a bit of dumping going on from 27th (albeit rain at lower levels) till ultimately snow down to valley on the 29th/1st/2nd march.
My only concern is the cloud cover will persist for the following week (I hate flat light)... Ho hum, time to hit the tree runs in vallandry

carled, interesting - I recall this happening last year in Verbier, bit of snow at the start, nothing much through Jan and early Feb with associated high temps, bit more around half term then a really big dump first week of March with cold temps. Then unfortunately really high temps for later March and April. Luckily the early season base is better this year and it was colder this Dec than last season so hopefully the later part of the season may be better. Optimism as ever.
Nice Sumo analogy as well

If I read the GFS correctly it could be spot on to start snowing/temps lowering around the 29th Feb just as I fly out to Basel for a weekend in Engelberg

I have long thought that the w/b 8 March was going to be the best of the year. About the only week no schools are on holiday, longer days, good base, good chance of fresh snow....but yes, let's not look too hard.
Pretend you don't care, whether you walk on the lines or the squares.

I'm just hoping the temperatures stay on the low side of what the GFS is forecasting - if we could get through the week with low temps instead of high then it looks like we'll get some fresh powder - if not then it's rain

Does all this mean I'm allowed to start getting excited for La Thuile/La Ros for the first week of March?
