Coldest days of winter

The temperature has dropped to -27ºC. Face masks, mittens and plenty of layers are required in ski resorts. The predicted cold snap has arrived with a vengeance. PlanetSKI is wrapped up warm and in The Alps. Across Europe it is having a devastating impact.

-30ºC in The Alps

It is cold at the moment and the temperature is set to plummet further. A wintery blast is coming in from Scandinavia and Siberia. It has already caused problems and loss of life. We have videos from Eastern Europe. Over in the USA winter has struck with a vengeance too.

The PlanetSKI Snow report

We have reported elsewhere on PlanetSKI on the cold snap hitting Europe but here is our detailed weekly snow report of conditions in ski resorts across the world. It is cold and snowy, just how winter should be.

Winter finally arrives in UK

Forecasters say it could drop to -10c and there is already some now in Wales and the West country. It is not much but more is set to fall.
