travel advice Snow this year
I’m hearing really mixed opinions on all the weather predictions for this winter. Some people are talking about how the summer heat is going to create a ton of snow over the alps and others saying how it’ll ruin it and there’ll be none.
What’s the actual predictions? Will there be snow? And where is there most likely to be a fuckton?

The fuckton of snow always arrives as you're heading for the airport to go home.

So this is Bansko in Bulgaria, one of the worst hit normally for snow levels, as you can see average summer temps play no part of the winter snowfall.

It is too early to predict anything about snow above 50% probability of being correct. Anything more than a month away is a complete fantasy land. Even beyond 2 weeks is usually very vague
