Nordfrost 5 Vs Hakkapeliitta 7

winter with snow up to middle layers

The climatological summer (it covers the months of June, July and August) ended with a marked decline at the end of cold air. Snow fell in the central and eastern Swiss Alps, locally up to 1400 meters down in Austria, the snow line sometimes even lower.

wonder how the 84-hour back trajectories show (distance traveled in air mass): The air mass originated namely, originally from the North Greenland:

Otherwise, I'll do it myself today, just a collection of links to various reports for cold air intrusion as well as general weather conditions collected in August 2010 had (at least I have written the report by MeteoSwiss is also a part ....)

Frühherbstlicher cold air intrusion (MeteoSwiss)
cited the onset of winter in late August 1995 I'll never forget - I was in fact at the time the first summer in the Great z'Alp as Rindlihirt Kleinwalsertal, Vorarlberg. At 1,500 m was 45 cm snow (including a number of snow slides left and right of the hut). The 60 cows and calves, we could barely tie in two narrow stalls. However, they got to eat 5 days almost nothing, only for a daily mouthful of old hay's has just passed ... The September but was subsequently extended with a beautiful summer grazing season. Photos of this memorable event are not currently available in digital form, but there are a couple of suitcases full of slides. So, enough memories to warm up. Back to the subject

current photos and newspaper reports of 20min , view , view in the evening (p. 4): Well, the quote in the text ("Snow in August, comes every year to 1500m before ") is not really correct.
Also in the Austrian Alps gave it to snow:
Up to 40cm snow (report by the Austrian weather service)

is now clear it out completely - the moment's looking for a very cold night and a cold first September morning from (possibly with ground frost).
