Compare these two forecasts for the same place (La Plagne) for the same date:

Source J2Ski

Source Snow-Forecast

I’m disappointed to report that not only did it not snow yesterday, but it’s not snowing today, either. It is cloudy, though, but not dense snow clouds. So both of these sites are wrong, and both specialise in snow forecasts…

Update 2pm: Ok I take it back. It’s just started snowing.

Update 6pm: Nope. The question still stands. It stopped snowing about 2 hours ago.

Update 9pm (how sad am I, really?): Snow-Forecast have updated their site with an apology: “INFORMATION: Issued Jan 5 2008 16:00 GMT - There was a serious error in the forecast on Saturday morning because north and south were swapped in the input model.” So Snow-Forecast wins.
