This is my first winter in switzerland, and i was wondering if this is it for the snow this year?

You bummed out buddy, but there is still a chance for about the next 6 weeks. After that start shopping for a mountain bike or roller blades..

Last year there was more snow in March than had fallen in the lowlands for 20 years.

But otherwise this winter has been exceptionally mild with temps about 4 - 5°C above normal. I can recall winters here with minus 15°C at night and a good four weeks below zero, walking on the lakes - it was 1963 when the Lake of Zurich last froze hard enough to walk from one side to the other! That might have been the last time for the next 10,000 years...

Does optimism come naturally to you or have you been practising really hard?

I'v been touring arround this last week.... here is some info.

Scuol - Good
St Moritz - Good but Foggy
San Bernardino - Good

Hope this helps.

Lets pray for a bit more snow before easter.

By the way, I know of a place where you can get guaranteed snow...

Still decent snow on Flumserberg. Last year there was very heavy snow in March - unlikely this year but I am an optimist
