i hope so. don't be jealous...you've got another couple of weeks to get some good snow, i'm sure you'll be fine * it's just worrying when you sit at work staring at the webcam all day...

I see that the snow depth is now upto 39cm.
I hope the high temperatures forecast for next week dont materialise!
I still think theres a strong chance it will snow around the time we arrive... theres a lot of activity in the GFS around the 21st... i don't think theres much chance of the snow level dropping below 20cm so I'm guessing we'll be playing in enough snow to satisfy my needs :sm011:
Next week looks pretty bleak though.
Snow depth have dropped 4cm today.
:glavaozid
Gutted, would like it to stay around the 40cm mark but guess I'm just being greedy :)
As long as there's enough for me to grace the slopes with my not so silky skills I will be happy.
Got the kids large bumb board out the loft today and was tempted to go the stairs on it but the missus wouldn't have it incase I bust a leg!!
Cafu earlier this week the forecasts were not good for your holiday... but things have changed theres a 50/50 chance of a decent snowfall while you're out there... the GFS looks good for mid-week.
maybe we'll all get lucky :dziveli:
Back at my desk and praying for snow lol
If these long range forecasts come to light we could see upto 1 metre of snow fall on our holiday 21sters.... keep praying & dancing because its working ;)
Does the long range forecast cover 4th February? Thats when I'm out there and I greedy as I am, I would quite like there to be some snow around! :)
Fingers crossed for snow for everyone going!
The models tend to go no further 2/3 weeks into the future, so you'll have to wait a week or two.
But looking that far into the future isn't reliable, anything over a week is highly likely to change... I base my 21st optimism on the storms traveling across Europe, pretty much every model has at some stage shown at least one of these storms crossing Serbia's border.
The odds are in our favour.
as much as 12cm's of snow could fall on friday :yay:
Hey man can you tell me where did you see that forecast? I have everything reserved for Borovets in March but I want to come to Kopaonik for a couple of weekends before that!Citirati:

you need to be able to read weather maps though.

I have been at www.noaa.gov and that is the US website. Do you have the link for Kopaonik or just post the web address here.
Thanks!

type:
Latitude: 43.28
Longtitude: 20.8
click continue, then choose 0-180h GFS on the meteogram option, then type the password... This will give you a good percipitation forecast; to calculate how much snow will fall multiply the percipitation by 8-10.. if there's 2mm of rain it could fall as 2cm of snow.
Next visit: http://www.arl.noaa.gov/ready/animations.html
Scroll down to europe find the row named "MSLP, 1000-500mb Thickness, & Precipitation" and select the long range GFS gif option, this will give you an easy to follow percipitation forecast at a slightly lower altitude.
Hope this helps :)
It's slowly melting away at the moment :( down to 27cm, hope there will be a big dump soon!
come back snow! Need a huge dump on friday now!
Its looking more and more likely that the snow will arrive in the last week of January :(Citirati:

I was hoping for the 21st but the models are gradually shifting the dates back.... must pray harder.
we'll be lucky if we get 1cm.... with rising temperatures until the 24th/25th (when it looks like it could snow very heavily).Citirati:

I think we should deffinatly get snow on our holiday, I'd just rather it fell during the first 3 days, rather than the last 3 days.

JC you should be a professor of meteorology (if not already)!!!
This was very helpful thanks a lot and you are right some snow can be expected from the 24th unless something happens.
If I come to Kop on the week when you are there I'll take you to some :cug:and :dziveli: after :ski: and then :sm021:
That snow expected on Friday seems to have all but disappeared before it even arrived :(
SpongeBob sounds like a plan :dziveli:
I couldn't bring myself to post yesterday, the snow completely disappeared untill the end of the month... however its back today (the models are still holding out for a fall between the 20th & 25th), but I guess we wont really know whats going to happen untill this time next week.
THIS IS KILLING ME
ps. my deepest symathies to all those going out on sunday :(
I am really disappointed. I am holding onto the fact the weather is dam hard to predict!!
When are you going princess?
I'm really worried that there won't be any snow, I myself am going on 4th February.
I'm flying out 21st Jan. Looking forward to it if I could drag some snow clouds along with me lol
I too am flying out on 21st from gloriousl Gatwick. I have never been on a ski trip before and am ever so nervous - is it likely that there will be no snow, so I won't ski at all on this trip having psyched myself up to try???
we're going on the 21st too, everyone seems to be!
whos been before, we are worried its a bit third world, is it?
Does anyone know if the snow that is there now is likley to last till then, bit worried bout the sleet forecast for the 20th?
3 cm's to fall today
15cm's (maybe) on the 22nd
7cm's (maybe) on the 27th
of course this will probably change, but its looking less and less likely that the snow level will reach 50cm for the 21st :(
Well at least the snow has reappeared on the forecast lol Yesterday it was all sunshine!
dont trust anything princess....
if it snows it snows, if it doesn't it doesn't... theres nothing in between.
oy vai
Pete don't worry (no :hair:) Serbia is far from a third world. It is not all as it is in UK but most of the thing are changing to better. After a lot years of isolation Serbia invested a lot in it's Ski facilities and they are the best in this part of Europe. I traveled to other ski resorts in the region but when it comes to ski infrastructure Kop is the best and the biggest it has the capacity of around 22.500 skiers per hour.Citirati:

In the couple of years you will see a new ski center in Serbia Stara Planina (Old mountain). It is the biggest undeveloped ski resort in Europe with the potential of 200 km of ski tracks. This is the first year when it is operational with only two ski lifts and main investment is expected in 2007 and 2008. :sm019: :ski:
I see snow blobs on the web cam xD
that dusting was great!
looks wintery again... next friday should see a similar amount of snow fall as well... hopefully that'll keep the snowlevels up for our holiday.
And give those poor buggers going out on sunday some fresh pow to play in.
The weather is still touch and go for our holiday... it seems to look like no more than 20cm over a couple of days at the moment... but there are some decent possible storms very close to kopaonik - they just need to nudge a little closer to our mountain.
Don't worry JC that storms must come to Kopaonik to taste Serbian brandy and food! Nothing can resist that! :sm021:
lol @ Sponge xD
Yes the web cam looks a bit better now and a nice heavy dusting would be appreciated in a weeks time xD
