Snow Forecast Summary - 6th October 2011
Published : 06-Oct-2011 10:14
Well folks, here we go again... :DThis, the first of our Weekly Snow round-ups for the Northern Hemisphere's ski season, opens with good news...
A period of unusually warm weather in The Alps is about to come to an abrupt end. Winter has already teased us with early snows in the mountains of Europe and North America, and tomorrow she looks set to really make her presence felt!
European Weather and Snow This Coming Week
A wide area stretching across the Northern French Alps, through much of Switzerland and across to the East in Austria, will see temperatures fall by 15 degrees C, pretty much overnight. Snow is expected to be quite widespread across this region with local accumulations anywhere from 10cm to 50cm over the next few days.
Temperatures may moderate a little early next week but in the meantime (especially tomorrow, Friday) it will be cold enough to bring heavy snow down towards 1,500 metres in the East and lighter snows to around 1,500 metres in affected parts of France, Italy and Switzerland.
The snow is unlikely to extend to the South of the Central Alps, and will be heaviest to the East and North, but it's an encouraging beginning and will see the mountains looking very wintry.
