When Is It Going To Snow

A snowHead

Can someone please re-assure me, I am the same every year. I keep looking at the webcam's and their is nothing, not even a hint of the white stuff and I start panicking about there being no snow for New Year.

I am confident, that by mid December it will be there, but I can't help thinking that it should be there now.

OR IS IT JUST ME

There's forecast a little flurry for later today / tomorrow / this week over most of the Alps I think. Only a dusting, mind.

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

It's snowing RIGHT NOW on CairnGorm Mtn: http://www.cairngorm-mountain.co.uk/webcam/ptarmigan_large.jpg

Only the slightest dusting, should be more showers sticking later if the temps drop as forecast.

Winterhighland, what's that tangled-looking mess that looks like it's hanging from the lift cables in that pic?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Kel, No - not just you.

I am the same

There will be snow and there will be skiing - some years better than others.

I went 2 years ago when it was the worst start to season for years - still had plenty of snow

We must be all doing this ! rolling eyes

Then you can post your own questions or snow reports...

already been snow on the webcams..its just melted again..looks like Midweek will be some snow fall...its been fairly dry so far..just need a bit of a temp drop and some percipetation.

After all it is free

Me too (I've got a big birthday coming up and want to be on skis).

........................and don't forget - only October

I did re-read most of last years snow threads to see when the snow starting falling Embarassed

started around this time didn't it last year? then that massive dump in November

snowHeads are a friendly bunch.

Early December when the first real snow was around - I posted this

snow reports

Owners have reported snow fall in Samoens already! Not in the village granted, but that's only 700m so suprising if it had been! Fluffy white stuff at 1600m though Very Happy

Boris, lovely picture

Anniepen, just wish Peisey-Vallandry would turn their cameras on - they're all showing snow, but is from April rolling eyes

You know it makes sense.

Otherwise you'll just go on seeing the one name:

jonm, depending what direction the camera was looking at the time - the 'tangley' thing your seeing is most likely the floating bull-wheel at the top of the West Wall Poma.

Looking back at past records the first snow that settles and is adequate for skiing normally comes around last 2 weeks of November/early December.

We head to Morzine on December 23rd, I am certain Avoriaz will be top notch, Morzine/Les Gets maybe not so, but remember, the later it starts, the longer it lasts! PLLLEEEAAASSSSEEEEE

Standee, "the later it starts, the longer it lasts" - uh? not sure where you get that from. If the Cham season starts on the 10th of May, it will last exactly one day.

I think you mean the "earlier it starts the longer it lasts". Puzzled

closing dates are fixed by the hand of man, opening dates are influenced by the hidden whim of the snow gods.

And as pam w, suggests, get lives all of you. It's Autumn. Skiing is a WINTER sport. You are a season early.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

There was 15cms of snow here, at 1600m, two weeks ago, according to my neighbours. It's gone. It was bound to go. It's October.

Quiet David Murdoch. This sort of thing gets me through the Autumn. And the Summer. And the second half of Spring.

Then you can post your own questions or snow reports...

pam w,

It's winter in Canada. http://skibanff.com/conditions/webcam3still.php

paulio, what's wrong with: kite-surfing, parapente, VTT, walking, speedflying, climbing, bouldering or even plain sunbathing?

does not compute

DB, Looks wonderful - and a tad exposed. I see you roped up in parts. Great stuff. Reckon I'd enjoy that as much as skiing- -though perhaps I am just envious - not been out in the hills the last 2 summers.

This season is predicted to be warm .

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Oh SHUT UP !! I don't want to hear words like warm, melt, global warming and rain. Anyway got a snow-alert email from snow-forecast.com for Arabba this morning so winter's coming I tell you.

I can confirm that the season is predicted to be warm with very little snowfall at all

......... in the Dutch alps.

After all it is free

Next week huge snowfalls in the alps at low altitude, if the current predictions don't change at least...

Snowed here today, here comes another 9 foot winter Toofy Grin
