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 :-)

Some weather forecasts are talking about a Northern or Western Stau, what is it. I suspect its good, but I'd like to know a bit more about it.

It is a German word. I only know it as the word for traffic jam but I think it can be blockage more generally.
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

So a Northen Stau would be a blockage of snow? That's the kind of blockage I can live with

@Mt
, Stau is an accumulation, usually referring to traffic but in this context means that the mountains cause the clouds to stack up against the mountains. So a Nordstau causes the Norther side of the Alps to get dumped on.
This is good!
Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.
