This is starting to look promising, even for the south later. The Actic plunge is looking sufficiently deep into Europe and sustained, could get progressive features bringing colder and colder air. Might even spawn a low diving down the North Sea.
Given how much you've pissed on any earlier mention of snow, my ears pricked up at your excitement. But after the last two years of disappointment I'm just not sold.Puggit said:

Not true in France which I presume is the only country he will go through on the way to the Alps.
Correct, unless mandated by local signs...tenohfive said:

With him talking it up and Schmalex desperately talking it down, I'm confused. Either way I won't believe it until Schmalex is stuck at home with a broken Rayburn. Bill said:

'And to the weather with Carol...''Yes indeed, we can confirm the rayburn is broken and a deep depression has formed in the living room, leading to watery downpours and thunderous outbursts. Tonight the bedroom will be frosty with only 1% chance of a thaw and late night warming activity. Outlook; frosty.'

I'm trying desperately to talk it down for the Alps!
Walked up Great Gable on Saturday, on Friday it warmed up and rained a lot but there was still plenty of snow higher up and in pockets, a good 4 to 5 feet deep. I meant to check the news to see if the mountain rescue were out at all as seen a lot of poorly equipped people out, one group thought they were headed for Wasdale and they were headed towards Seathwaite/Borrowdale/Keswick i.e 100% in the wrong direction.
It was marginal at times whether crampons were required, and white out up the top with some light snow.
