Weather
Here are a selection of tools and webcams that I find useful for seeing what the weather is like and what it is expected to do in the near future.

Satellite images
This animated satellite image from sat24.com has amazing quality images. It shows a loop of the last 8 images. This means that sometimes in the morning it looks a bit strange as you see a few of last nights images before this mornings ones.
The Sembach satellite analysis for Europe is good because it overlays the positions of the fronts on the image

This satellite map of France from Weather.com I include because it is zoomed in on France rather than the whole of Europe.

The Weather Channel map of France

The Meteo Consult map of France

Weather Station Data
Col Agnel is the highest cross frontier col in Europe. The weather station there is useful for keeping track of what the temperatures are like up at 2600m and for keeping track on the depth of snow. There used to be a good webcam up there too but it seems to have died recently.

This is the same station, just over a shorter time period, so more detail
