There’s A Storm A Coming
Login
Be thee in California or Courchevel there is reported to be bad weather a'brewin out west that looks set to dump between one and two metres of snow by the end of the weekend.
The most excited area is California which has seen the most dramatic switcheroo from last winter's epic falls with almost no natural snowfall this winter to date. That's about to change big time if the forecasters are right.
"A storm is predicted to hit Tahoe late Wednesday, January 18 and continue through the weekend, dropping up to several feet of snow. Some forecasts calling for six feet!" said an excited Vail resorts statement – the company owns Heavenly and Northstar by Lake Tahoe.
In Europe there's been a largely snowless seven days in the Alps after the first 10 days of 2012 brought some of the biggest January snowfalls ever seen in France, Austria and Switzerland.
The snow is due to return in the next few days, with the northern Alps, particularly France forecast to receive the biggest falls – with some predicting as much as another metre of snow at the weekend.
Elsewhere in the world weather extremes have been reported in recent days too. Calgary in Canada's Alberta is in the midst of an Arctic Blast that has taken temperatures down as low as -30C. Some resorts like Lake Louise have closed upper runs as a health and safety precaution. Others not much further away, like Fernie, have been seeing as much as 75cm of new snow in 24 hours.
In Japan, the northerly island of Hokkaido, home to some of the famously snowy Japanese resorts like Niseko, has seen some record snowfalls (even by their standards) in the past few days too with one resort reporting 2m, of fresh snow in 48 hours.
What resort is that!!? Narnia?
Nice one! Well I nicked it off www.bbc.co.uk/weather/
"Record snow falls in Japan: Over two metres of snow fell on the Japanese island of Hokkaido on Monday, the most since records began in 1946."
If you go there now a nice young lady will tell you all about it.
Hold tight buddy! lmao... Hope you like you drinks 'Shaken not stirred'.
Giggles....
