just checked the yllas, levi, kittila and bbc websites for the weather forecasts and it looks like snow if arriving on friday and getting much colder on sunday - looking good so far but who knows what will actually happen ;-)
who would have ever thought we would be wanting it to be cold on the hols - could you imagin saying such a thing over on the tropical countries forums ;-)

I dreamed last night that there was no snow when we got there - so have been worrying! Also dreamed I bumped into you:)
I hope they test the ice regularly to see if it is safe for snowmobiles, ice skating etc?
|||
They do check the ice regularly, but at the moment (certainly when we were there last weekend, and it%26#39;s been warmer since then so will probably be the same this weekend) the ice is not thick enough for snowmobiles etc. But most snowmobile tracks for organised trips go over land rather than lakes (or at least have multiple routes so they can go according to the conditions) so wouldn%26#39;t be a problem.

Check the fifteen day forecast out on this link!!For those near Kittila.
Snow snow and more snow for those going xmas and new ear week. Hurray! see you there....

I%26#39;m sure there will be plenty of snow (there was when we were in Yllas last weekend) but ignore the accuweather 15-day forecast - it%26#39;s not based on any knowledge of what will be happening as it is not scientifically possible to forecast with any accuracy more than 5 days into the future.
The only weather sites worth looking at are the Finnish Meteorological Institute (www.fmi.fi) and the BBC weather site.
|||
Thanks Magslad about rubbishing the accuweather website. I checked it earlier in the week and was so excited when it said up to 4 inches of snow for xmas eve, then checked back the next day and it was completely different. Will check that finnish site now.
|||
Hope one of them gets the snow forecast right, snow depths in Levi down 20cm from yesterday!!
|||
You lot gonna stress yourself out about the weather !!!
|||
The best forecast is the one that%26#39;s live...
So - it%26#39;s been very mild for the last 4 days - hovering around freezing. Cloudy and clear skies - no new snow.
Today it was only -2 again - but felt much colder due to wind chill.
Young children have had a base layer and a mid layer on and then their snow suits. Adults just one layer on legs and then salopettes. Base and mid layer on top.
Snow is forecast tonight - or Friday latest - but we need it. The nursery slopes have got icier and icier during the week and some fresh snow would be really welcome now.
Oh - and I%26#39;m in Yllas!
|||
That%26#39;s better, a report from someone in the know !!
Why you surfing if you are supposed to be away skiing LOL !
Hope you are having a lovely time. We are coming in on Sunday, so make sure there is some snow left for us all please.
p.s have you seen anyone selling xmas trees???????
|||
Snow has gone down to 30cm not 20cm.Its forecasting on All sites that there will be more snowfall in the next couple of days.
Anyway everyone, one thing for sure is that you will all have a lovely white christmas!!Its more than we get here.
Go and have a great time!
