On the South-Eastern Edge of the Snežnik Forest at the End of the Last Springly Snow Episode; Mount Goljak (1145m), Snežnika, Karst-Dinaric Region, Slovenija
25-April-2024: the last day of the cold advection of April 2024.
Inside the forest of Mount Snežnik the orographic and recurring Bora/Burja wind is attenuated, but on the mounts that come out and surround the forest it can be felt well and insistently, so much so that in many of these areas the tall trees grow with forms of dwarfism and/or twisted.
In recent years the frequency and intensity of this powerful and cold local wind have decreased following changes in meteorological trends, which means that in the affected areas the winters are milder (as a sensation on the skin in addition to the evident Global Warming ) and snow is only occasional.
The Bora accompanied by precipitations, generally within an occluded front sent by a Mediterranean LP, lowered the snow level by dragging and by forced evaporation of the water on the ground and in fall, furthermore, by blowing for several consecutive days and repeatedly during the winter (and not only) kept an extended snow cover on the Karst ground for longer and generated other opportunities for what were the classic Dinaric and north-eastern Adriatic snowstorms (or blizzards).
