7am Friday Dec 21: last 24 hours started with snow and was nearly entirely overcast with lifting clouds in the afternoon, only to close in again overnight and more snow. Total of 24cm at 860m asl at my weather station. Temperatures have been steady and relatively cold. Yesterday we experienced medium to strong west winds in the morning and a calm afternoon. On a SW aspect at 1900m asl we didn’t find any instability. But that was yesterday and the weather has changed since then.
