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 :-)

The forecast was showing a very healthy 22cm down to 1840m in Sestriere this Wednesday and then a few cm's for the rest of the week. Now, it is saying 45cm down to 1840cm on Wednesday and a further 26cm on Saturday!!!!! Very Happy snowHead

I will be happy if even half of that falls. Very Happy

CrowJersey, that's Meteoblue. Well known and appreciated on here.

Erm... I know it upsets some of you to hear it, but the charts this morning are awful for the half-predictable future apart from two spells... Into Weds & early Thursday is cold and there'll be some snow around... unfortunately another low pressure system sweeps through the southern part of Europe into Thursday and brings more warm temps up from the South... However, behind THAT low pressure is a wave of colder air and into Sat, Sun & Mon is looking colder... The bad news is that the stupid blooming zonality then returns which puts warm air right back over the region. Next week is going to be almost as warm as it is now, if these GFS charts play through as it shows.

This pattern looks set to stay with us for a while, I'm sorry to say. Currently look WAY into FI (Fantasy Island - way too far in the future to be reliable) for any crumbs of comfort when it appears to be breaking down around the 19th/20th Dec.

As has been said many times before on here though, GFS isn't always the most reliable and certainly not when it gets any distance into the future. I'm hoping this is just a bad hair day for the charts and it'll turn around in the next few days. However, I think the warm temps after this weekend are looking like a nailed on cert with the charts being in as much agreement as they currently are.

Ha! I'm no forecaster, I just have spent so many years watching GFS charts for winter holidays that I've started to get a feel for what they're showing/predicting. There are people WAY better on here than I am at interpreting/forecasting, I have no illusions of grandeur whatsoever! I'm feeling quietly confident that something is on its way. Not until shortly before Christmas I don't think, but change is afoot...

carled, ok, I was on http://85.214.49.20/wz/pics/MS_846_ens.png

but even on the Geneva chart, the mean oscillates around the average, you couldn't call that graph consistently warm or cold, it's well, average Confused

I know... like I said, I'm no forecaster, I just have gut feelings based on how the charts look! As a "cold lover", I tend to look on the bleaker (warmer!) side where possible to minimize disappointment. I jut look at the chart progression over the past few days and, in my (admittedly often useless) opinion it looks like it'll be getting warm again early next week.
