We just had an excellent week in the Dolomites. Despite the warm 850s and high pressure the snow generally held up well all week and the only day it became very soft was Saturday. I think a combination of being away from the hottest temperatures and the still relatively short days kept melting on the pistes to a minimum.
Was snowing heavily when I woke up. It's now eased off or may be a bit of rain/sleet. Pavements have a few white spots, roads are clear, but grass/cars/trees have a cover.
