Snow already!
A cold blast of polar air has moved over central Europe, pushíng temperatures far below normal. Snow is forecast in the Alps at elevations as low as 1400 meters.
The following chart shows the forecast for the next 2 weeks. It shows that summer is finished for much of Europe. In fact, as mentioned above, the lower Alps are expected to get snowfall in the couple of days ahead. Continue reading below.
According to Snowfinder, it’s time to get your skis out. Snow is in the forecast at many ski resorts. At Mürren Schilthorn in Switzerland elev. 2360 meters, snow is forecast for early this week. The same is true for Kitzbühel in Austria at 2000 meters elevation.
Heck, even below 2000 meters snow is in the forecast, for example Steinplatte Waidring in Austria , which is only 1800 meters elevation. Maybe Nature will publish a study attributing it to global warming.
Update 1, August 30: Rain mixed with SNOW was reported on the Brocken summit, elevation 1141 meters, In north Germany this morning on north German NDR radio.
Update 2, August 30: Snow line has dropped to 1400m (below the 5000′ line) in the Alps. Heavy snow is in the forecast. See following chart (h/t: Reader Patagon):

Yeah, I was just makin’ my own fun as usual. Stuff like this is why they ran us out of town when I was a kid.
Learned to like books.
And plenty of deep powder for a ski trip.
Meanwhile we in Philly are being toasted all this week by 92 to expected 96F days. But that is going to change soon. And everyone will wonder why it is getting so cold so early and fall changes into winter conditions rather quickly. I hate to think of the number of snow storms I am going to have to dig out this winter.
We have had a CO2 fueled cold dome hovering over the west coast for the last two years.
Wobal glarming is real and 100% manmade!
The evidence of climate change is slowly showing up, one winter at a time.
Thanks for the article.
