There have been some big snowfalls on each side of the Atlantic in the past 48 hours (following on from an often snowy week last week when up to 30cm of fresh snow fell).
In the Alps still-open ski areas have reported up to 50cm of fresh snow had accumulated by this morning.
At Livigno in Italy (below) the resort reported 20cm of snow at resort level, more than 40cm up top.
Other still-open areas on both sides of the Atlantic reported heavy snowfall too.
In Scotland there was fresh snow at the two-still open centres of Cairngorm and Glencoe.
Loveland in Colorado has reported 15 inches (38cm) of fresh snow over the weekend (Pictured below)
Although only a few hundred ski areas are now still operating their 2015-16 ski seasons, compared to more than 4,000 in December it seems that many open and closed areas will see more snow this month that they did in the last month of 2015, as well as having much greater base depths.
