    maybe in beginning of Nov. you might get snow at Semmering, BUT I had been there in January 2007 and it was totally free of snow, except a small track that was obviously prepared with artificial snow and the lift was running. In 2005/06 it was maybe 1 meter of snow and extremely cold all the winter, in 2006/07 it is now really warm and almost no snow at all...

    Despite of this abnormal winter there should be snow at least at the piste, because they are able to use snow cannons...
