So Brian - if I really wanted to ski somewhere in Europe this weekend, where would you tell me to go?
Currently edging towards Saas Fee or Zermatt, but just heard that Verbier opens this weekend (Lac des Vaux only). The Pyrenees look good but too far to drive there from Brussels.
Have I missed anything?
(If I go where you recommend and there's ok snow, you've got a sixer of Belgian beer put aside - how's that for an incentive?)

Hintertux has the most slopes and lifts open.
Zermatt has the freshest pow.

Would you accept a Pearl Necklace?

I loved this thread last season welcome back! Shall we have a sweepstake on the page number for:
- the first mention of snow "vanishing" on metcheck
- the first request for snow fall predictions 1 month in advance
- the first snowhead to feel carled's wrath
- first snowhead to defend honour of above
All seemed rather common in last year's thread

Stands back smugly, chalking up first strike of 08/09.
High pressure looks to be taking control over the weekend and most of next week.
Signs are fairly promising for a really cold arctic blast around the 20th/21st, watch this space.

How do you work out where the fronts are likely to be on a chart like that?

rob@rar, with considerably more expertise than I have !
... but here's a stab. You're looking for the isobars all abruptly changing direction in parallel (sometimes it's quite subtle) and of course fronts occur on boundaries of cold and warm air masses so it's a bit more obvious on an 850hPa temperature chart like that one. Spotting them on the 500s is obviously harder.
red is warm front, blue is cold. They should actually maybe be a little bit closer near Iceland, possibly occluding slightly, but my mouse wasn't very steady.
