Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

@davidof, not a breath of wind in Bourg - normally a foehn rips through here.

This SW flow has been on the cards for a while. Can see the pressure measurements and forecasts here, stronger on the western end, but all 3 areas meet the foehn threshold

https://models.atmosoar.io/foehn.html

Hard to get excited about early Dec at the moment, still some key differences a week out around month end to resolve. ...GFS (last below) will probably catch up with the other 2 soon, as ECM and GEM are almost identical with the pressure anomaly pattern.



Either way most of the alps still stuck under a high, with some mid lattitude blocking to the north, so a pool of colder air will advect into the eastern end.

1500m temp anomalies show the west-east split



Some signs we could head into a typical (for time of year) more mobile atlantic driven westerly flow early Dec. So +NAO, west to south west winds and we would then need to get lucky with any brief iberian highs that might turn the flow more to the NW and lower the FL. All speculation for now, as no sign of any deeper cold set up yet.
