snow winter 2011-12 alps
Summary
The main talking point about the weather in the Alps, has been the severe cold especially over Eastern areas, next week looks cold or very cold.

Syntopic Progression
The "Siberian" High now 1056mb and centred over Western Russia, has plunged bitterly cold air over most of Europe, with Severe weather conditions in many areas. As forecast a few days ago the High is starting to fall south in Western Europe with milder weather trying to push in over the UK.
Remaining bitterly cold over much of Europe, but milder weather pushing from the Atlanitc for western parts of the UK, bringing mostly rain for western areas, and snow for Eastern parts of the Uk.
Remaining cold over most of Europe for Sunday, but slightly milder for the UK, Western France and Scandinavia with westerly winds.
A lot of uncertainty at the moment for the rest of the week, a bit of a battleground with milder winds trying to push in from the west, but with HP remaining over Scandiviania, this is very difficult to call. The GFS scenario shown below shows the cold air pushing back over the UK for the latter part of the week.
In terms of the Alps though, it is looking very likely that condtions will be very settled and also cold or very cold.
