Re: It's snowing!

The storm has now entered the Innerschweiz.

The alphorns are blowing in the wind
The Mythen is drenched by rain
The church bells have started ringing
while the young priest prays in vain.

Written with pleasure by your friendly weather olypoet.

The storm has arrived in Zurich, but minus the snow at the moment.
I was out in the car and noticed that it went down from 10C to 6C in 20 mins (within the city).

Mad rain and wind for about half an hour then the sun started cracking through again.

Snow looks like it's putting in an appearance down here on Sunday. Time to get my proper winter woolies out...

Re: It's snowing!

Super wind here near Bern.......massive amounts of rain wiped out yesterdays 3 cm of snow. Now at 7:00 pm the rain has changed over to snow again. Maybe it can MAKE UP IT'S F'ING MIND and stick to one type of weather. Damn. Sleet, snow, rain, warm sunshine, high winds, cracks of thunder, 12 degrees to 1 degree all within about 24 hours. Waiting for the dead to start walking now

Re: It's snowing!

It's finally happening! It's snowing in Baden!
Actually it's just a very very fine covering, but it's something.

Re: It's snowing!

Bern city started snowing last night. It was such a cliché moment for me. Walking home after a fun Christmas party, a bit tipsy, with the one I love, and its starts to snow (my first time experiencing it). But so cool to see the white roofs this morning.

Re: It's snowing!

Snow on the grass
Snow on the trees
Snow on the roads
Snow on my knees

Today is the perfect day to take out the sled and get the Christmas tree.

Winter has finally come to Switzerland.

Re: It's snowing!

Yep, 30 cm overnight here and still coming strong. OH playing outside with his blower (now, now children..) whilst I am supposed to be making pastry for mince pies and short bread dough to make Christmas biscuits with the grand-kids when they arrive. Better go and get on then.

Re: It's snowing!

Woke up at 6 ish to the sound of the snow plough driving up the road. Looked out and had a light covering everywhere. Gone now though, except for a few patches on the roof.

Re: It's snowing!

Got about a meter in my garden, and its still snowing hard!

Wasn't so happy about it last night, walking home from my bar job in the early hours with the snow over the top of my boots!!
