WEATHER UPDATE 8th Jan

Well, what a week it has been !

Last week’s prediction was spot on, but did not predict the amount of snow...even though I said it was going to be a dump..big dump eh lol.

This coming week is a bit quieter in the respect of snow, but there is a bit more to come overnight tonight until Monday afternoon. All week there is the chance of some snow showers but the main feature of this week is going to be the temperatures.

Well, what a week it has been !

Last week’s prediction was spot on, but did not predict the amount of snow...even though I said it was going to be a dump..big dump eh lol.

This coming week is a bit quieter in the respect of snow, but there is a bit more to come overnight tonight until Monday afternoon. All week there is the chance of some snow showers but the main feature of this week is going to be the temperatures.

Temperatures are going to drop all week getting VERY cold by Wednesday with daytime temps of -7 or -8C at base level. At the top of the Gondola in Borovets, maximum may only reach -10.

The only unfortunate aspect is that the wind could start to pick up throughout the week too becoming quite windy by next weekend.

The weather can change quickly, so I will keep you all posted.

WOW! The only way this can get better is if a weekly dump of 10-30cms happens right through to the 4th of March!

I really hope there is no melt in the latter part of Feb....

We still need more snow, although the conditions at the moment are good, the off-piste could do with a real top-up, maybe a metre or more... Good base at the moment, the top is a little heavy but skiable.. the problem is the areas that we like to ski are still showing vegetation, `kleck' to be precise... a short pine related shrub (found only in the Balkans, and a small area in Canada, can grow to 2 or 3 mtrs)... It is murder trying to get through it, and can only really be passed over with ...

It is murder trying to get through it, and can only really be passed over with a better covering of snow... soooo, keep chucking it down for the rest of the month, and Feb (as i'm working most of it) and in March, let the sun come out, and only snow at night... I want it waist deep, only champagne powder, and untracked...
Not to much to ask surely ??? Wink
