At long last there has been some fresh snowfall today in the Western Alps.Although fairly limited in spread, along the French / Italian border, two leading resorts of Bardonecchia in Italy and Montgenevre in France reported 20cm each of new snow in the past 24 hours.
Other resorts including Courmayeur and Serre Chevalier got 10 - 15cm each.
More snow is expected tonight with some for the Northern Alps too, although falls are currently only expected to be "light."
Generally conditions are holding up well on the listed of the Alps above 1600m thanks to good falls in November and December last year which left bases of up to 2 metres on upper slopes which have lasted all winter.
Elsewhere Arabba in the Dolomites says it received two feet of snow overnight,there have been more heavy snowfalls in Western and eastern North America, resorts in the Spanish Pyrenees have received up to 20cm of snow and in northern Europe there's been more for Scotland and Scandinavia.
