[Alps Weather And Skiing Conditions]

Im going to Niederau in only a couple of weeks now on the third and it looks great there so far but still couple of weeks away and i have already been skiing 3 other times in 2 locations and never seen a flake of snow while out there. last year it rained for 3 days in Niederau but the conditions were still quite good.

The harsh thing was the last time i went over there we had 4 inches of snow back at home in somerset which just about melted away when i touched down ar bristol airport.

come on let me see something this year.

[Who Has Had No Snow At All]

Apart from 15 mins of falling flakes on Sunday morning, we've had nothing here. Nothing last year - at all. Nowt the year before. Almost nothing the year before that ( an icing sugar dusting which disappeared in less than half an hour). In fact thinking about it, in the eleven years I've lived here, we've had laying snow just twice; once about five years ago, about 4 inches which froze solid for a couple of days and April 4th 2000, again 4-5 inches of wet soggy stuff, all gone within a few hours.

I'll be so glad when my son leaves school, then we can finally move somewhere which gets a decent chance of a winter. Fours years and counting....

Had a look at that map, apparently I should get 6-7 days - hands up, who's been nicking my snow? By my reckoning I'm owed a 1947'er....can you accrue and demand a lump sum payment?

I must say this year and last have been terrible so far but i remember april 4th because we had 6-8 foot snow drifts up on the mendips which took couple of weeks to melt and thats one of the best events i seen in last 10 years. lots of smaller falls before that but last 3 years ive seen only few days snow cover even at around 300m which is rare for us.
