Lots of it! With more forecast into next week!

* - zero isotherm's going to be around 1400-1800M in the Savoie, so
choose wisely...


Um, what does this last bit mean?

Below that height the snow will be melting.


Or:

Below that line the snow will be... rain :-(


Not strictly speaking. The rain/snow limit is often quite diffreent
from the zero-degree mark. Usually much lower, so one can still get
significant accumulation of snow very much lower than the 0 degree
line.

It is not even a fixed or necessarily positive difference. I have seen
snow at 4 degrees (let's ignore hail in the summer), whhich normally is
a 600m difference. Nauturally it tends not to last once the storm has
passed.
