@nozawaonsen, Any reasonable hopes for meaningful snow in Verbier or Zermatt over the next week?

That's probably a fair reflection of current conditions!! Fingers crossed the things change for the western alps pretty soon!

There's plenty open in Avoriaz and conditions on piste are generally really good.

@buchanan101, Zell lake partially frozen an hour ago when I drove past. Temps down to -20c later in the week will probs see that expand to 50% of the lake, if that continues could see it being nearly all frozen by the 9th.
I've been in Austria since Friday staying in Kaprun, the warmest I've seen it was 2c in direct sunlight. Most mornings it's been -10c and been very cold in the almost sun less village, so the conditions have been great. The locals were also saying half a metre of snow WILL arrive midweek since Friday. So I'm very excited for the next few days. Leave on the 7th

Strongy suspect it will dump on 12th as I fly back to Geneva for a ladies ski weekend in the GM. Bound to have to put snow chains on the hire car and ski in a white out. Spent 2 weeks at Xmas skiing in full sunshine on hardly any snow. Husband who is going the following weekend with the chaps, will of course benefit from said white out and get to ski in full sunshine on loads of lovely snow

@nozawaonsen and Buchanan101, thanks for that- I've downloaded a 'whole-alps' resort map too for context.

Great about the lake - saw it fully frozen in the 80s with ice yachts on it. 4 years ago wasn't frozen which was disappointing as it is stunning from the top of the Schmittenhohe.

C'mon snow gods, give us some snow in Alpe d'Huez! First(and maybe the last time) I buy a season pass!

Hi, sorry for the naive question but does anybody have a link or an explanation on how to interpret the squiggly line graphs? Ta in advance...!

Spooky.
Errm. Ok, ok. My turn now!
I reckon.... Hmmm... Wait. I'm thinking.
No don't interrupt!
I've got it.
In this month (January I'm not always good with months), I think, cos you know, I think.
That some places in January will be windy. Some places, OK, they will not be so windy. But maybe not at the same. Time that is. Though they could be. At the same time.
But I don't know. Really.

@nozawaonsen, far too vague.
The first half of January will be cold and snowy at times.
At other times it will be cold and sunny.
Some days it won't be all that cold.
The wind will not cause significant problems, except for skiers on exposed chairlifts on the really windy days.
This forecast is specific to some parts of northern Europe.
You mark my words, I'll be able to out do @Whitegold's I-told-you-so's

Me, me, me - I predict there will be snow this month - 26th of Jan 22.00 in Tignes.

I think it gets colder in winter and warmer in summer. I predicted this YEARS ago! Better than Whitegold any day!

@Whitegold, will sometimes be right and will be able to say "I told you so". Sometimes he will not be right and will say "but I told you that I'm not always right". So what ever he says you can be assured that one way or the other he might be right.

Not windy in Tignes today or did you not include French Alps

On the GFS outputs, what rate of snowfall does '5' equate to? Obviously it's the area under the graph that counts for total depth. Thanks.

@mheadbee,
Very little sadly. They continue to open more pistes though as they make more snow.
|
I could probably live with that. This is the lads 3 day trip so as long as there are some decent pistes we will be happy. If it transpired that Morzine was a golf course and only a few open in Avoriaz which were sheet ice I think we would be disappointed. |

Bloody FREEZING at Stubai today - down to -12°C at the base station at the end of the day. 10-15cms of new snow last night was just enough to sneak some offpiste turns in between rocks and glacier ice in places.

I don't think we will be. Most people are saying there is a lot open in Avoriaz and still two weeks to go. Those charts above show very cold weather coming up and potential precipitation from the 9th to the 19th.

@Jellybeans1000, nice, that should help fill my 13 remaining work days before heading out!

@clarky999, yes to that. Very cold further east too!
Looking deeper into FI the signal for a pattern change remains. In the reliable outlook the eastern Alps are favoured, further out snowfall pushes back west, but still too soon to have confidence.

Anything for Zermatt/Cervinia with these storms to the North and East? Arriving there on the 14th. Thanks.

That's an incredible site! 
How reliable is this technicolour feast for the eyes? Seems a lot like snow-forecast.com - a lot of detail with a lot of colour, a long way into the future... very tempting to take as gospel... but seems like the deep fidelity in graphics tracks back to being based on one model run extrapolated, with the same likelihood of wild U-turns on weather outcomes as the forecast date approaches?
