Peter S, yes it remains tricky in the UK, but certainly a possibility of snow which could disrupt travel on Saturday. Snow too in the Alps on Saturday, but unlikely to have an impact on airports, but could slow things down getting into resort. So if travelling make sure you have a good book and a Walkman with you favourite mix tape.

The grain of comfort is that the snowfall is predicted well in advance so all should be ready for it. We'll see, I suppose..

Does anyone have a view on the timings of this front moving across the UK on Friday? I am meant to be down in Reading with work, and don't fancy slogging back up the M1 to Leeds in a blizzard!!
The BBC this morning just said "sometime" Friday, whilst my local Look North said Friday night for the band to hit Yorkshire.....
Cheers,
Greg

Greg - I don't think they know the exact timings at the moment, I would have a Plan B in place in case it hits at a bad time for you.

Thursday night sounds like a good option, slogging north up the M1 on a friday night is a real ball ache even in good driving conditions!
I drive south every night from J27 -> J21, and northbound is always a nightmare.

BBC weather just updated, for the midlands looks like snow from 3am Friday morning for virtually 48 hours solid

[quote="nozawaonsen"]pjd, it's temperature. Calling it a "wiggles" chart makes you sound about 3.
And suggesting that a poster brings a Walkman with a tape mix - one of your later posts - makes you sound like my grandad;-)

Back to alpine weather. Just heard from friend in Schladming that the snow has arrived, currently snowing hard and excellent powder already off piste. Set to continue snowing through to Friday. I arrive back in Schladders tomorrow, hopefully the A10 will be clear and I'll be missing the UK snow-meltdown.

I've been out in Lenggries all morning. Fantastic skiing, probably as good as we've had all season. Lots of powder and the pistes probably have 4 inches of powder on top of the hard pack since being bashed last night. Visibility wasn't too bad given that it was snowing hard. Still snowing now and forecast to continue for the rest of the week before a high pressure comes in next week. Getting progressively colder.

Hello all. I'm flying out of Luton early on Friday, to Geneva, and driving to Tignes on Friday afternoon. Would you see us having travel issues at the airport at either end?

Should be alright out of Luton if its in the morning. Can't speak for the Tignes end.

Callum001, thank you. At least at the other end we'll be one step closer to the slopes!

rainman, I don't think there will be any problems with snow at Geneva airport. On Saturday however it does loo koe there could be quite substantial snowfall I resort which could slow down transfers a bit.
As for the UK the situation remains tricky so keep an eye on the Met Office severe weather warnings.

There's a lot of snow in the Meteo France forecasts for the northern Alps from 19 - 23rd January.

That looks like a monster dump for the the southern French resorts...
Good news for those of us in AT that the storm looks forecast to track south
Just seen the BBC forecast and the UK looks set to get hit on Friday with a disruptive amount of snow (ie any)

But the snow isn't good all over, is it? I was talking today to a relative who is going to Sauze D'Oulz on a "lad's trip" this weekend and he said there had been no new snow there for a month. Is that really correct? He's an early intermediate snowboarder so very hard fast pistes aren't his favourite, really.

pam w, From the look of Nozza's chart he'll be like a pig in proverbial this weekend

Thanks nozawaonsen, I guess the actual track of weekend weather systems is still up in the air, and a few hundred miles north or south, or east or west will have quite a significant bearing on how much snow falls and where.

nozawaonsen, thats 45cm of new snow in Wales and signifcant snow elsewhere in the UK if the GFS comes off.....guess there will be repeated Atlantic warm fronts hitting the cold air like Dec 2010 in the UK??

All this snow in the UK is a bit of a pain isn't it, could disrupt our flights on the way out. I am flying to geneva Tuesday night, Like everybody else the more you look forward to it the more you start to consider the worst case scenario...canceled flights.
