 Poster: A snowHead

Slight update on the weather, the snow will now not start until lunchtime at the earliest and may not occur at village level untill late afternoon, by tuesday morning the villages should have between 5 and 10 cm of new snow, by Wednesday morning with a lot of luck this will have increased to arround 30cm with more snow higher up, it looks like the best of the snow will fall further south, St Moritz could get up to 120cm of snow on the surrounding peaks by the end of wednesday

DG Orf,
Have you seen the thread on Snow reports forum "Free 16 day forecasts for the non GFS-literate"
It looks interesting (and helpful. It must be better than snow forecast!
We have relatives joining us from Canada when we go to Wengen at the end of February, and I think we have persuaded them NOT to cancel the trip because of the poor snow. A lot can happen in 6 weeks. Please tell me my optimism is not misplaced.
I've just read your previous posts - Sorry you won't be in Wengen this year.

I have a few pics that I'll upload to the Zone in the next few days - I'll post a link on this thread when I do. Not sure what you mean by what I'd chance however I'd love to ski from Schilthorn to Lauterbrunnen at some point so I'm sure I'll go back again - just that I'd have to make much more sure that there'd be snow for me when I got there! Despite passing it daily, was on HB and never did go for that drink at the Jungfrau  .

I despair, I really do. My girlfriend says it's snowing on scheidegg but it seems to be the wind blowing it from the jungfrau rather than real snow.
I don't think I'll go up today, far too icey. I'm also too disappointed. I really thought I would wake up this morning and see 50cm of snow at my door.

Just spoken to Steve at Central Sport in Wengen. It's pretty stormy at the top today with a southerly wind. Snowing hard in other resorts to the south-east. The storm is expected to move aside tonight and allow the snow to get to the Bernese Oberland.
Fingers crossed.

it kind of snowed most of the day on scheidegg but very light. Just got back down and it's snowing better in the village, the roads are starting to turn white again.

I don't get that bit to be honest, mannlichen was blue skies and sunny today, was a bit windy on the top of lager and scheidegg was getting all the cloud from the jungfrau.
Now for the bad news  A farmer my girlfriend spoke to today said don't expect more than 3 cms and then it won't snow for a long time, god I hope he's wrong.

I think it will be more than 3cm but probably not enough to piste It doesn't look much better in the long term with no significant snowfall in the forseable future, I hope I'm wrong, the only possible bright side is that the weather should be sufficiently cold for artificial snow to be made

stab, the last time I was near your house at arround this time of year that fence in the picture was almost invisible because all bar the top 2-3 inches of the posts was below snow level 
The railway tracks at kl Scheidegg can still just be seen through the cloud so I'd say they've only got 5 perhaps at best 10 cm of new snow up there, the cloud is too thick to see anything on the Murren web camera

So the good news is there is more snow in the area than there was 24 hours, and my glass being half full I see this as a really positive trend. Whereas the hoped for predictions of 50+ cms of snowfall may not come through, I am confident next week that whilst my glass may become less than half full, it will rapidly be filled up again! Roll on the Tanne (and indeed any other bar in Wengen - I may be optimistic about everything, but I ain't choosy)

FAQ
. The Palace isn't exactly luxurious (4* 
) but the staff were generally helpful and friendly and we found the HB food to be pretty good, so no real complaints. It was certainly nice to be able to use the sports centre pool for free and without having to go outdoors! If the snow had been good we'd've thought the Palace very well located. Even with poor snow it wasn't too bad and though the Jungfrau seems to be in the best location we were just glad we weren't in the Eiger! 
Also we thought it was the Schilthorn cableway end of the village in particular that is very pretty. Conclusion - lovely place but our trip was marred by the weather/conditions/Inferno!
