 Poster: A snowHead

Click on the link, pick the maps you would like to see from the drop down menus. I would suggest 1 on the left and 1 on the right. Wait for them to load and then hover your mouse over the time period you are interested in on the left hand side. By slowly moving the mouse down the list you can almost get a movie effect.
PS Niederschlag is rain (I think)
The date on the top left is the issue time and on the right is the forecast time. Have a play

Wonderful maps Frosty, thanks. My german speaking GF tells me Niederschlag means precipitation.
Hope it's all of the frozen kind...

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Frosty the Snowman,
Wonderful - the Alps are to be engulfed in wave after wave of Niederschlag over the next few days.

Similar animations (based on same forecast data) can be found here, on an English language website.

That big blue squodge approaching Ireland on the site Rob linked to is apparently the same storm that dumped record snowfall on New York. Forecast to be only heavy rain and high winds in UK and Ireland but at altitude in the Alpes ????? Could be the major top-up many resorts are hoping for. Unless the winds scalp the higher runs ......

the temperatures look a bit warm - it's certainly snowing heavily at 1600 metres, according to the Les Saisies website (I am actually in Hampshire at the moment) but it looks as though there could be Niederschlag falling in liquid form on lower altitudes over the next day or so.
