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 :-)

Nino And La Nina check this out for fernie...... http://far.redtree.com/snowfalls.html

Some of the recent unusual weather can be attributed to the El Nino of 1997-98 and the La Ninas of 1998-99 and 1999-2000. The long-term records we have analyzed back to 1971 do not show the dramatic impacts one might infer from the past 3 years.

La Nina increases snowfall about 20% at most areas north of Utah and California, so we recommend early season bookings in Canada, the Northwest and Northern Rockies during predicted La Nina seasons. Snowfall is reduced substantially in Southern California and Arizona, but only mildly (10% or so) at Mammoth, Brian Head and in New Mexico.

El Nino predictions are less helpful to skiers. The positives are in the same locations which are negative for La Nina, but the extra snow tends to be late in the season with negligible impact upon early season reliability. Only in interior Canada and Montana is El Nino snowfall reduced as much as 10%.

Long-term data shows no significant El Nino or La Nina trend in Lake Tahoe, Sun Valley, Utah, Colorado or the Northeast. Those who tout the huge 1983 and 1998 El Nino seasons in the Sierra often forget the poor 1988 and 1992 El Ninos

That one about the european predictions seems to say "be a crap winter, just not as crap as last year" or am i wrong?

Nice interpretation of:

"...the predicted winter NAO index for 2007/8 is weakly negative at -0.34 with a standard error of ±1.0. The relatively small amplitude of the predicted index relative to the error bar means there is little associated signal for below- or above-normal European winter temperatures or precipitation..."

for the meteorological idiots among us (me included!).

rayscoops, usually they mean over a 30 year average, 1971-2000. Average over that time period would be fine !

 And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

brian, interestingly in most cases the 'average' never occurs Very Happy

rayscoops, no, I think I can state with near certainty that both temperature and precipitation will either be above or below average. Toofy Grin

 You know it makes sense.

brian, best to go to the alps when it is 'above' the average in that case Very Happy
