Another bumper year?

Tue, 13 Oct 2009 19:07:04 GMT

I keep hearing rumours that the Alps are in for another bumper year for snow. Anyone else heard this?

Apparently the storms started at the end of October last year so it's not too late yet.

Let's hope these 'experts' are right.

Plenty of time yet, we got well over a metre of snow in just two days while in Val D'Isere last December.
The key last year was from the first snows the temperatures stayed low.

.....I hope so, I have a feeling it will be a good season as my itch hs started to tingle :D :D :thumbup:

As it's an El Nino year when the cold air moves further south and hopfully collides with the moist Atlantic air I am very optimistic we will enjoy plenty of the white stuff, have been looking at the forecasts for my local area around BsM and the weather is set to drop to around -7oC by the weekend with a chance of snow.

If we can get the season started off with good dumps of snow early on to build u a good base and then have temperaures that stay low we will be on to a winner :D.....it's time for the yearly sacrifice of the furry wurthers original thats been in my car door pocket all year :(and to give praise to the snow gods....make it deep, make it white....and keep it comming all the night :D

.....I think the people with the white coats are at the door!!

.....We had a summer, bugger why didn't they tell us?

Mind you the Met Office reckon it will be a mild winter, so judging on past forecasts and predictions (such as the BbQ summer) the comming season should be a blinder :thumbup:

Luvely Jubbly :D :D

What's the difference between what Jon said and what TH is saying then? Or do you mean the same thing?

My old man lives at Thornham, on the North Norfolk Coast.

He plays golf, plays bowls, takes photographs and watches sky sports all week. Has about 5 foreign holidays a year, including about 3 weeks on snow. If its dry, he barbecues dinner.

I hate him.

We are off to an early start. Earliest significant snow for forty years. One of the ski areas (that always likes to be the first to open) is making snow. People had been predicting an early winter as the leaves start to change colour earlier than usual. What that bodes for Europe, I don't know. The crazy thing is, we had the air conditioning running three weeks ago.

Saturday 10th Oct, Logan is not excited :(

If it snows as much during the winter here as it rained during the summer (something stupid like 50 consecutive days) then Scotland will be on to a winner :D
