Just change the "192" in the link below for the number of hours (days) you want, eg 10 days would be "240".
Also change the run number to the latest, eg "06" "12" "00"
http://www2.wetter3.de/Animation_06_UTC_05Grad/192_24.gif
Comes with massive caveats.....it's the GFS Op (same as snowforecast.com), it's only one run and will change every 6 hours, sometimes dramatically

Is it cool to know this stuff? Central European time
06z 1030
12z 1630
18z 2230
00z 0430
That's the start of the release, you have to wait another 1h30 for the full Op run to update. And then another 1hr30 for all the ensembles. Apparently.

I take it lots of the weather sites use the OVH cloud that went up in flames , I can’t access Meteociel.fr , Cham meteo didn’t issue a forecast till very late on yesterday and it’s rather quiet on here .

@Rob Mackley, quite amazing how MeteoCiel didn't even have an explanation up for a couple of days.
I feel quite lost without them as although I look at others they were my benchmark as it were.
As for Sat week, 20th, that is currently looking bonkers, I can't quite believe it, as my OH hopefully flies into Nice this coming Saturday, and will isolate for a week, what a pressie for her having not skied all season 
When we completed on our apartment back in March 2013 around a similar date it dumped for two days!

@Weathercam, yes I’m a bit obsessed with the GFS precipitation map checking three times a day , I actually only realised about the fire when my local weather ‘Essex Weather Centre’ issued an apology this morning . And yes Winter still has a bite left in it .

I havent had time to read the detail here and the conclusions are hardly surprising ie shorter snow seasons and less snow in most places but it does have a lot of detail. The medium term prognosis for many Italian ski resorts is not good.

See Meteociel is back.
We've had a strong cold NW'ly wind blowing for well over a week, and hopefully the final day of it today, at least it's kept the snow cold though yesterday we hiked up on S facing side to find Spring snow and failed.
Down our way it really has been quite a bad season for snow, not only limited accumulations, there was the early season high avalanche risk, then the Saharan sand which wreaked havoc to the snow-pack, and now the wind, along with so many more people touring, so we've had to work hard to earn our turns, though we are very fussy

Well we were supposed to be out in Tignes this coming weekend. Looking at the ensembles I am a little relieved we aren't going to be there......nah....still wish I was going

We were due to be in Tignes this week. Classic week of sunny spring skiing missed, after the last couple of years of cold windy Easter weeks... ️

GFS 00z to next Saturday.....
Increases for Tyrol, Scotland, Switzerland, Northern French alps...with maybe only the Southern French alps missing out on a decent dump.
Northern Italian alps also to do well.
Temps dropping 15-20 degrees from Sat - Wed, roughly +10 to -10c at 1500m.
NW snowline to bounce between 0m and 700m...but there is no terrain below 400m anyway, so there will be snow on the beaches.

Could be the last cold dump of the 20/21 season. Let’s hope it’s a good fill up....

^am thinking the same, not worth ripping the base on frozen crud, need another 5-10cm tonight to be tempted.
Imagine it’s deep enough further east.
As for 10-13th, not as clean a set up, looks wetter and milder, maybe useful above 2000m, but a long shot looking at current charts.

@BobinCH, whatever.... you must have caught the edge of the heavy falls, nothing like that 50km west.
Amazing change in the weather out the window just now. Went from clear skies and sunset to cloud and snowing in about 15mins.
Edit didn’t last long

@polo, @BobinCH, think it's only us that are still interested
But just maybe we might finally end the drought and somewhat ironic for those in France now !

@Weathercam, not out there but still very interested . Just as obsessed with the snowfall in the western alps as I am at home . Whilst unable to participate myself I’m still happy to watch yourselves enjoying . I find it quite funny that my sister in law living in Lausanne asks me what the weather is going to be for their weekend trips skiing .
