Default Welcome snow for the Alps

Tons expected in the Alps next few days. Probably too much LOL.

My daughter will be thrilled - she is a snowyphile and has been in the
Swiss/French Alps (Morzine) all of last week with no snow and comes home
from her first ski trip on Monday!!

I am like Phil, a bit concerned about settling snow. I don't know how the
dynamics work at the interface between wet soil 8-10C and air temp of +1C
but I know the stuff wouldn't settle in these condition two years ago even
in heavy showers, although I believe that was the end of Feb/start of March.
Thanks for the encouragement anyway!
