@Whitegold, It's also (according to yr.no) going to go from -34C on Thursday to +10C on Sunday in Chicago. An incredible temperature variation in only 3 days.

| @BobinCH, Hi, Where is that forecast from please? Ta |
It's snowforecast dot com the models they use like bigging things up as much as wepowder 
However what's interesting at the moment for us down Sarf is that all the various sites are not too far off in terms of accumulation
Meteociel circa 40cm
Wepowder 36cm @2,000m
SnowForecast 50cm @ 2,000m
netweather.tv 60cm
And Yr.no 60cm
Like I say does not often happen, usually, Meteociel is < 50% of wepowder and snowforecast and yr.no is < 70%
Going to be interesting.

This is how ICON EU sees the snowfall out to Sunday night.
Strong Föhn means snow line will be a bit high in the northern Alps as snow comes in but much lower on the southern side of the Alps.

With the dawning of the ice age in the USA mid-West, they have had to resort to setting the train tracks on fire to keep them from freezing. (It really is a futile effort, as once the glaciers move in, it will be pointless, and the folks that survive will be using dog sleds to get around.)

„Auf den Bergen kältester Jänner seit über 30 Jahren“
ZAMG figures show January 2019 was one of the coldest in the Austrian mountains for 30 years (-3.6C compared to average). You have to go back to 1987 to find a colder January (-3.7C).
Snowfall has also been extraordinary. The Reutte weather station in Tirol at 850m set a new record for snowfall in the area in January (since measurement began in 1982) and for snow depths (since measurement began in 1937).

@nozawaonsen, the numbers won't lie, but that surprises me a bit - last January felt much colder (obviously much drier too) overall from what I remember.
The 15 day record from Hochfilzen is pretty incredible too - 451cm at 962m!

A massive 7cm forecast on the Zermatt site to Sunday night, up from 2cm though!

Various Forecasts (BBC, Meteo France etc.) are suggesting a sustained period of warm (daily max up to 11 degrees in BSM) and sunny weather after this weekend in the Northern French Alps. Do any of the experts on here know if this is well supported? I am slightly concerned as staying low during half term week and not relishing getting kids down home runs if they become icy following repeated freeze thaw of all the nice snow falling this week.

Shifting focus to London - any weather gurus here who have a view on the amount likely to fall in London over the next 24 hours? Met Office are warning of possible air travel disruptions which the news channels are bigging up. We are fling to GVA Friday at 17:30 from LHR as probably are many other

@OldHacker,
There are no ski runs that finish in BSM and no low resorts in the surrounding areas .
The ‘sun starts to get strong in Feb so you can get icy patches on m0st south facing slopes whatever the altitude . It will all be fine .

Can't tell what it will be like for half term, but conditions now are the best of the season so far in La Plagne.

Can’t comment on London but it is snowing in Poole already. The Amber weather warning that I have seen gets nowhere as far across the country.

@kitenski La Plagne but staying in Montchavin which is only 1250 metres. Have skied the area many times and am not a fan of the lower runs when they are either icy or slushy so was hoping current conditions would last. Hit a large area of boilerplate ice on a steep section of blue run one year which kids could not handle and ended up being carried down by a heroic pisteur.

According to the BBC, the snow front will come all the way across from the west through London into East Anglia, with the potential of up to 7cm in the South East. However, they do warn that the front looks like it's going to get weaker as it hits the south east so it's hard to say how much the south east will actually get in reality.
Also, London is generally a degree or two warmer so it might be less affected.
With snow forecast to finish by early morning on Friday, you'd hope that Heathrow would be clear by then

Official Heathrow forecast has snow showers till 0900 tomorrow and then a 40 % chance of sleet showers in the afternoon. As there are likely to be delays and cancellations in the morning, some high frequency destinations may be subject to consolidation later
Keep a very close eye on your flight via the App.

“Quick comment on the overnight EC Monthly but it is sticking to its guns! Consistent signal for high pressure and blocking regimes looking ahead E or NE'ly flows possible, Greenland blocking by the 18th-24th, major -NAO signal 2nd half of Feb. #weshallsee”

00z GFS op run certainly went very cold mid month, but a complete outlier, so not worth paying too much attention to right now.

-High pressure = Bad?!
-Blocking regimes = ?
-E or NE'ly flows = Good? (beast from the east-stuff?)

EC monthly:
Week 1: dry over most part of Western Europe. Cold signal
Week 2: dry for most part of Western Europe, but southern Alps will see higher amount of percipitation (read Italian Alps). No signal for temps.
Week 3: High pressure over Northen Europe. Weak signals for the rest, but might see increased precipitation in Northen Alps. No signal for temps
Week 4: High pressure over Northern Europe again. More precipitation might be seen over the Alps but weak signal. No signal for temps.
As mentioned earlier, persitent signal for NAO - in the second half of February. Might also see some Genova lows before that
