Updated 17/02

Good snowfall for many areas tapers off sharply as the new week begins; the Via Lattea will see a few last remaining flurries as the sun begins to fight its way through, and the freezing line beginning to pick up and move towards a more spring-like freeze-thaw pattern. Elsewhere, the Aosta sees half-a-foot of snow on higher ground on Tuesday with flurries continuing on to Wednesday; the freezing line will stay well below 1,000m, too, ensuring this snow reaches all elevations.

Thursday will see good snow good snow come to most areas, with at least 10cm down over western areas. The Dolomites will see excellent snow really for the first time this season, with around 40cm expected down on thursday – things remain cool, too, with the freezing line sitting at around 1,500m, meaning snow will reach all but the lowest elevations. Sun returns to this part of the region, with spring-like freeze-thaw patterns beginning to form as the weekend continues.

Cloud remains the theme of the week throughout the rest of the country.
