It does look like another mild spell next week but further out the GFS models (and the general outlook) looks more promising.

As our friends over at Metcheck said earlier this week :-

the cold air to the North is almost "itching" to spread South over the next fortnight.

This should, in theory mean that whilst in the short term things will warm up, February should have a few interesting periods on the cards.

Fingers crossed, keep dancing, and you could be lucky... 8)

Our latest Snow Report for Campitello doesn't look that thrilling. Should get a little more tomorrow but not enough. Sorry. :(

The Snow Forecast for Passo Tonale is looking pretty good for next week - exact quantities are a guess, with wind and compaction taking their toll, but it should be a good covering.

This graphic from WetterZentrale shows the predictions of various runs of the GFS (Global Forecast System) models, for Geneva, over the next two weeks.



The upper set of the lines are the predicted temperatures (left-hand axis), in Geneva, by the various runs, and the lower set of lines are the predicted amount of precipitation (right-hand axis - rain in mm/snow in cm).

The bold white line in each set is the average predicted by all the runs.

This graphic is produced by and is the property of the frankly awesome WetterZentrale site - who provide a fantastic array of information for the technically-minded (in German).

My crystal snowball tells me there will be Snow in Pas de la Casa next week.

But we all need to start pretending not to notice the snow forecasts - that's why they keep changing... :wink:

Now you've gone and jinxed it! Summer will return on Tuesday, torrential rain and tropical temperatures above 3,000 metres... bring umbrellas... sun cream (SPF 60+), etc...

...no guarantee it's going to stay cold in this bizarre winter but next week certain looks better and better... 8)

Keep everything crossed!

Or even this...



Pav - just put img in square brackets before the URL and a /img after it (also in square brackets) to show the picture.

Hi James,

We have a Snow Forecast for Serre Chevalier. Looking like colder temperatures after next weekend so you might get lucky - maybe hold your nerve for now and see how the forecast develops.

If things don't improve, look at Les Deux Alpes - it's not too far from Serre Che and is an "upside down" resort; with the beginner's areas at the top (3,000m on the glacier).
