That chairlift has been Martesized..

[verbier61]

so...
piedmont governor declared today that this has been the biggest dump of the last century. There are many reports of 4.5 meters of fallen snow above 2500 mt.
The roads to alagna and macugnaga have been closed for long time, and macugnaga seems to be still unreachable.
I was seriously tempted to drive ticino tomorrow, but according to meteosuisse there is an high risk of very strong winds from the north (which will be hammered again in the next days)

Weekend calls? I think temp and safety are very high on the list of must haves....snow doesn't look like an issue

[subtle plague]

the more east, the colder it will stay...

concerning the dump: this century or in the last 100 years
i'l say at least in the 10-20 year range this must be most snow in piedmont. not only storm totals, but all time snow levels.....

piedmont today (limone and prato nevoso, thanks missing madaci):









regarding 100 yrs vs this current century.... really dunno what the governor meant, I have no access to data (and maybe data from 1908 or so are not available), I just further read that something vaguely comparable (in terms of snow fall intensity in a week) happened in december 1960 and no more later

[alto]

Holy shit.

[scotia]

To state the obvious: that is a fuck lot of snow. Shiiiit.

Well for me France, Aosta and Ticino are one heck of a drive just for the mere weekend. Geneva/ Rhone valley or the Innsbruck/Salzburg line is as far of a ride I'd consider.

Where you driving from Hicks? Munich?

Possibly heading down with my bro and a friend... We're thinking of Andermatt/ Airolo but are fair game for alternatives. Berner Oberland might actually become quite good once the north stau hits full force in a day or two.

today was quite good...

[hop]

OK OK OK....

Ahh....uh.....
freaking out a bit here.
holy poo

That looks like Gulmarg, Feb. 05

You need your beacon for your grocery trip.
Imagine that it slides from the roof. No one would find you.
