This fall is one of the least snowy in recent years in the mountains. Indeed, the softness of high pressure prevailed, with dry weather durable. In addition, these conditions favored the development of temperature inversions. In this situation, it was frequently found at higher temperatures in the mountains than plains.

In the coming days, the situation will change, since we will find a more westerly flow disrupted. The rain will then return to France, as well as snow in the mountains. Friday, it is mainly the Pyrenees to be concerned with a rain-snow limit which will be between 1400 and 2000 m from west to east in the chain. Locally, it may fall up to 20 cm.

Episode snowy Monday marked

The weekend will be a gloomy time, but the precipitation will be less organized, and wait just a light dusting on all our beds, from 1500 meters. However, the magnitude of the first snowfall looming Monday.
The flow switch in the northwest, and the passage of a disturbance force, the snow should fall in abundance. The snow level, first between 1500 and 1800 m, dropping rapidly over the day. It could snow from 500 to 800 m in the Alps, the Vosges and the Jura, and around 1000 m of the Pyrenees. At altitude, the ground layer expected to approach 50 cm.

You make pigs smoke. You feed beef burgers to swans. You have big sheds, but nobody's allowed in. And in these sheds you have 20ft high chickens, and these chickens are scared because the don't know why they're so big, and they're going,
"Oh why am I so massive?"
and they're looking down at all the little chickens and they think they're in an aeroplane because all the other chickens are so small.
Do you deny that?

The lack of snow is really getting to you isn't it?

A little, but its more likely to be the weds night wine.
