The meteorologists leave no doubt: just before Christmas it will snow heavily in Tyrol – all the way to the Inn Valley. Here it can reach up to 25 centimeters, on the mountains more than a meter. A white Christmas is coming, winter fun on the slopes and cross-country ski trails is guaranteed.
What happens meteorologically in Tyrol until Sunday is a kind of prelude to the strong start of winter from Monday. “All weather models show that there will be a white Christmas even in the Inn Valley,” predicts meteorologist Nikolas Zimmermann of the UBIMET weather service.
In Nordstau there is even more of the white splendor to see
Between 15 and 25 centimeters of the white beauty can fall in Innsbruck on Monday and Tuesday. From the Ausserfern over the Karwendel to the Kitzbühel Alps it is probably even 30 to 40 centimeters from 900 meters. And the special “treat” according to Zimmermann: “Christmas Eve will not only be white, it will even snow on the 24th.”
On the mountains, “Frau Holle” or the expected northern dam site is even more strenuous. Zimmermann: “I expect a maximum of one meter of snow, but on the Arlberg and in the classic northern dams it could be more. At the same time, it becomes bitterly cold at high altitude. On December 24, minus 18 degrees can be expected at 3000 meters. In the Inntal it snows with maximum temperatures around 0 degrees.
“Roadmap” to the white Christmas
And this is what the ‘timetable’ for the white Christmas looks like: Snow will fall in the valleys on Friday as a result of the cold front, but it will not be more than a few centimeters. Saturday it will be cloudy but dry. Low pressure will increase on Sunday and the snow line will fluctuate between valleys and around 900 meters.
Heavy snowfall from Monday evening
It really starts on Monday: the snow line drops again, and it will snow heavily from the evening onwards. On the 24th, things continue in the same manner, with the intensity of the snowfall decreasing slightly as the day progresses. “It cannot yet be said with certainty whether the snowfall will continue on Christmas Day,” says meteorologist Zimmermann.
Couldn’t be better: high-pressure weather after snowfall
From St. Stephen’s Day onwards, the Tyrolean winter wonderland should look even more kitschy. “A high-pressure area is expanding and it is becoming milder again,” reports Zimmermann.
