Yeh! Hopefully more soon!

Here is the BOM forecast for the Alps for next couple of days

ALPS FORECAST: HEADLINE: Few showers/snow showers.
Cold and windy with a few showers, likely to fall as snow above 1700m, lowering
to 1200m this evening. Fresh to strong west to westerly winds.
UV INDEX: 4 [Moderate]

PROBABILITY OF SNOW: at 1500 m at 1900 m
Today (6am/6pm) 50% 80%
Tonight (6pm/6am) 70% 90%
Friday (24hr from 6am) 50% 80%

Comments:
A frontal system in the Tasman Sea is linking with an extensive cloud band over
southeastern Australia, bringing overnight rain to Alpine regions and light
snowfalls about the Alpine peaks. A few showers will persist today in the wake
of the frontal system, with snowfalls likely above 1700m, and down to 1200m this
evening and Friday morning. Westerly winds will be cold and fresh to strong.
Showers and snow are expected to clear sometime Friday, and Saturday and Sunday
are expected to be fine with lighter winds.

Bring it on!
