Those of you putting money on the 20s in November may actually be looking at a win!
Take a look at the 144St sequence on this model!

I think it's looking "likely" that the French Pyrenees (Bareges & La Mongie) might be the first to see some proper snow... but hardly metres of the stuff... be nice to at least see some white webcams wouldn't it

Prize was for first 15 to 30 cm snowfall in Alps. Not sure I can see anything like that in next few days.
Meteox is really just an animation of likely conditions. Not sure I'd imply it's a separate model. I rather suspect it uses one of the major models as it's source, but would be curious if it was separate how it was compiled.
Anyway if you put your original bet more than seven days ago, it's an opportunity to put in another bet!

Maybe time to roll the dice again...
The cluster round this weekend are obviously a busted flush. Midweek is looking pretty unlikely. Next weekend? Maybe... Mid December? Let's hope so...
If you bet seven or more days ago, chance to update your bet! Free!!
But don't pick a date within seven days of the day you pick on (so don't pick sooner than 27 if you pick on 20, or 28 if you pick on 21 etc).
We're not looking for dribbles of snow here. But the first proper snow to fall in the European Alps (too complicated to adjudicate if it goes wider). And slightly generously that's been decided to be 15 to 30cm.
Absolutely no huge prizes, sport's cars, Woolworth's vouchers or cupcakes on offer for the winner.
I'm going to update my guess to... 27 November...

I'm sticking to my original date of 28th November. Starting during the night of the 27th and carrying on on and off during the week. That is for my neck of the woods, i.e. Eastern Alps, Austrian Tirol to Salzburgerland.

I'll take 29th November and hopefully huge dumps over Sestriere! Please post my million pounds prize money to Children In Need. (see, if I make a kind gesture it might just happen!)

Nah, I'm sticking with my original offering of 4 Jan. We'll have a few flurries before then but will have to wait till after the New Year for the first significant fall. Feels like another 06/07 season to me. Hope I'm wrong.

OK, I'm ditching the 23rd in favour of the 30th November.

I'll take December the 14th. Seeing as I'm meant to be going on the 17th, I'll be a nervous wreck by then!
I'll be booking last-minute this year.

I'll stick with 12 December. Hopelessly optimistic, but there you go.

Looks like the gob-smackingly non existent prize goes to Ricklovesthepowder and sparkzter, whose god like omniscience allowed them to pinpoint the snowfall to with 0.2mm of depth and to within a cm of the exact point the first 15cm deep snowflake fell.
Here's a picture of the two of them off to enjoy their holiday together...

let's say more than 15cm to 30cm at 1800m in the West or 1500m on the east?
|
evidence, please? Is there really 15 - 30 cms at 1800 in the west? Where's our Plagne 1800 reporter who said it was pouring with rain last night?

pam w, are you suggesting Strictly Fantasy Snowfall Factor on Ice might be fixed?
Ricklovesthepowder knows nothing about the Bribery Act. He's a postman. He's got a family. You can't send him to jail!

Arctic Roll, that pic of Arc 1950 doesn't look like 15 - 30cms to me?
