Snow Forecast Summary - 5th March 2009

Last weekend's mild "blip" faded quickly and snow has returned to many parts of The Alps over the past day or two - with significant snow reported across the North in particular (Northern French, Swiss and Austrian Alps).

Weather and Snow Next Week

The snow currently falling should continue through most of Friday, with weather in most places clearing by Saturday afternoon for a great weekend on fresh snow. Light snow is possible in the north of the region early next week.

To the South, starting in The Pyrenees but pushing into the southern half of the Alps by mid-week, distinctly milder weather will bring Spring skiing conditions. The impressive snow depths reported by the southern resorts should hold up well, however, so good skiing will be available almost everywhere.

The forecast models have been all over the place for the past few days, so it's unclear how things will progress beyond next week - although there are indications of another cold spell taking hold in the latter half of this month. Fingers crossed.

And so it continues...
