Don't put too much belief in their figures from a couple of days onwards, useful for watching the general trend but any forecast that promises 17mm of snow 5 days away is going to be largely guesswork.

The temperature charts are normally quite handy, but have been way off for the past month or so, predicting temperatures of -256 from time to time. But snow quantities after a couple of days in advance get a bit unreliable.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I've generally found it pretty inaccurate, the 10 day out forecasts are never right.
Last year I spent weeks checking various sites stating doom and gloom in Austria, but when I actually got there there was plenty of snow!

trisco, It's good to get the general situation but as others have said, after a couple of days the accuracy diminishes.

But that's not unique to Metcheck AIUI - *any* forecast more than 2-3 days ahead is of significantly reduced reliability, isn't it?

Well, I'm hoping that their current forecast is accurate, they are saying for Zermatt, snow from Wednesday this week more or less through to Monday!
Just going to check other sites now.

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

trisco,
its dodgy!
read the beginners guide to GFS forecasting about ten times (  ) and you will probably do a better job yourself.
PS it also updates at a snails pace!

J2ski are predicting a similar forecast, probably from the same source.
Just hope they are right.
30 days till Zermatt
