Calling Pavel Czech is like calling Dave Mac English

As Dave implies, the deeper the frost befor it snows, the better. Once there is a layer of snow, it insulates the ground from freezing. Early snow might mean early thawing. For us, it's always exciting to have snow in October, but it doesn't bode well for mid winter warm ups.
In the US there is some monitoring of ground temps, but nothing as comprehensively as the way water is monitored.

Twoshorts, at this stage, the important thing is the ground temperature. If the ground is cold, and then when the temp drops, and it starts to snow, the snow will hold.
Also, if the ground is cold, the artificial now will hold, either direct, or in storage.
Now then, you have started me thinking. Is there a web site that might show ground temps in the alps......??

If there is a need for it, they have done it well.
