  2. I've just returned from a fantastic snowy dolomite landscape. It snowed for most of the week with the odd sunny day which was a big contrast to the saturday we arrived and were met with slushy brown pistes and temperatures in double figures - now its in double minus figures. There has been so much snow that the Val Gardena pass was closed earlier today - looks like the season has done a completer U turn.

  3. Now only a short message, later I'll complete with graphics and other data.

    Today a really strong fohn over northern Italy with records everywhere.... In the Alps near Cuneo 550 mt. asl up to +28.6°C

    This morning in my town (45 mt asl) a minimum temp of 4°C and at at noon........... 23°C

    This year we don't have winter, no cold, no snow, no rain..... only dry and sometimes HOT..... last year I closed winter season with more than one meter of snow.... It seems a different planet

    :drinks:

    That is an amazing couple of statistics. And all i wanted to hear as i leave tonight for Corvara, Alta Badia.

    I have been monitoring the temps on the val-gardena.com website and shocked how often the temps (even at 2000m) have been warmer than my own location.

    Do you have any comaprative stats, comparing averages with actual for the area. Something similar to how i have produced mine which are on line at http://www.lortonweather.co.uk/Analysis-2006.htm

    Things look like changing though - heavy snow is forecast from tuesday onwards - i just hope it happens.

    I'm just watching the live weather now and Fohn in val gardena/alta badia is producing some very strong sustained wind speeds of 80km/h with gusts up to 120km/h

  4. Has anyone any idea how reliable the snow forecasts on this website are because according to those Andorra is in for a whole load of snow next week!

    I think the outlook for both the pyrennes and the alps is good to very good next week. I'm off the dolomites in italy and its more probable that skiing will be prevented by heavey snow falls rather than none.
