    Heading off to Chamonix,for the first time, next Thursday for a week snowboarding. Forecast, at this stage, looks good with significant snowfall over the next 5 days. Perfect timing for the third and probably final trip of the season after a great week in Nendaz couple of weeks ago and Bulgaria at the start of January. Didn't make it to Austria this year, hopefully next seaon..

    I arrived at a similar decision this morning. Weekend skiing at the Scottish centres can be a queue fest. That and limited runs usually means a frustrating day. I might venture up through the week before milder conditions take hold.

    -2.5c Heavy snow, 2 inches lying at 0630

    Cold, calm and dry. Lying snow making driving more challenging. -8c noted at 0630.

    Moderate rain that lasted from early morning till dusk. Darkness brought a change as snow replaced the rain. Large snowflakes falling at present, some the size of fifty pence pieces, others larger. Currently just above freezing at 0.5c

    Darkness has brought snow for my location. Very large snowflakes, easily 50p size, some larger. The ground is very wet with the constant rain throughout the day but it is starting to lie.

    Signs the Atlantic is waking up. Might be good news for snow for those at high elevations, Scottish ski centres for example.
  9. Norrona2015
    Moderate rain here for a few hours now, the grounds getting a good soaking at long last.

    The change to wetter. windier and milder weather is thankfully underway and looks to continue next week. I'm expecting delivery of a further half a dozen Canadian Tsuga trees from Holland next week so the weather change is most welcome. Currently 2c, light rain with little wind. Perfect.

    The 2016/17 ski season has been described as 'the worst in ten years' as weather disrupts business: https://stv.tv/news/north/1378855-ski-season-under-threat-as-winter-months-fail-to-deliver-snow/

    Dry sunny cold day, the frost hasn't lifted in place throughout the day. -5c at 0700 -3.5c at 1800 Currently foggy and feeling chilly.

    Looking at the absolute devastation the avalanche caused, I'm surprised anyone survived but thankfully some have. Latest reports suggest up to eight people have now been rescued. It's difficult to comprehend the forces involved, but what's left of the hotel has moved 30 feet from it's original position.
  14. Norrona2015
    Very sad indeed. Images of the hotel before and after show just how destructive this avalanche was.

    Some impressive snow being forecast for the Italian resorts over the next few days:

    A friend is boarding in Andorra at present and sent me this, very snowy with high winds. Looks like a scene from the Shinning...
  18. Norrona2015
    Sounds like my idea of heaven, instead I'm back home suffering 12c temperatures. Desperate to get away again in the next fortnight or so before I crack up.
  19. Norrona2015
    Hopefully this mild nonsense is short lived else my winter tyres will be wrecked. Spring like conditions this afternoon with temperatures of 12c.

    Out of reach this winter and the previous five and I suspect next winter will be similar fare. The world is changed.....

    Bit of a shock being back to this lame Scottish excuse for a winter, overcast, mild, misty and damp. There was some snow lying when I got home yesterday but thats pretty much disappered overnight and now only the hills have patchy covering. It's not just the weather that sucks, the roads heading up from Edinburgh yesterday were a disgrace in comparison to roads we travelled on from bansko back to Sofia.
  23. Norrona2015
    Flying back to the UK tonight, weather warnings in place for snow and ice for most of Scotland. Should be an interesting drive from Newcastle up through the borders and east coast. By pure luck I remembered to stick on the winter tyres, the X5 is lethal without them.
  24. Norrona2015
    Bright, windy and fairly mild to start. 2c in the village 0c mid mountain Heavy snow from 9am onwards, close to whiteout at times higher up the mountain. Last day Bansko Bulgaria
  25. Norrona2015
    Dry ,clear blue skies, calm and much milder of late. -1c in the village -5c mid mountain Bansko Bulgaria.
