One topic in the coming days will be the wind. On the romania phone number library northern side of the Alps, we expect wind spes of 90 to 130 km/h in the mountains.

This means that precipitation only falls in the form of snow above germany cell number around 2200. The Chablais, the Vaud Alps and western Lower Valais are particularly affect.
In the areas mention, 50 to 80 cm of fresh snow is expect to fall above about 2200 meters between Tuesday evening (March 7, 2023) and Friday evening (March 10, 2023), and up to 110 cm in places on the border with France.
