Zürich as well

Blizzard conditions here near the airport

Same here near Luzern, wil need the gritters out again.

Had a good Ski session yesterday but a bit icy. Avalanche possibilities must be very high?

Blizzard near Zug

Having lived through several blizzards which dumped a couple of feet of snow, I'd not call today's weather blizzard-like, but, someone needs to turn off the snow machine here in Basel.

I think Zurich was caught on the unawares, as I have not seen any snow clearing vehicles yet.

Feels like Winter again. Me likey.

I can still hear the trams, so that bit of transport is covered... I'm not a fan of snow in the Unterland but I love the way the town is suddenly much quieter. If only I didn't have to go outside, I've already done the slipping on ice and getting concussion thing this winter...

It's snowing quite heavily near Bern... bizarre didnt think this would happen. Pleasantly surprised thoguh.

But the airport open. Flights from Germany with heavy delays, flights from Brussels, Luxembourg and Milano-Malpensa cancelled

Wooo hooo only one thing for weather like this. A big fry up and back to bed, coozzzzy.

its no blizzard...little dusting, flurries maybe...amazing how there is chaos all over Zurich area with hundreds of crashes and like today the VBZ busses not functioning in Zurich. I can just imagine what would happen if real snow came as in a foot or two... national disaster guaranteed

While it of course is NOT blizzard, as blizzards seldom occur in Continental Europe thanks to the West-East mountain ranges (USA = North-South ranges), there were up to three feet of snow in Zurich within less than 24 hours in March 2006. The buses came to standstill first, the trams followed, but the railways, both ZVV and SBB carried on and Zurich-Airport remained open all the time.

In regard to the VBZ, priority are NOT the busses but the TRAMS. Whenever real snow occurred/occurs, the VBZ will concentrate all efforts on the tram-network. For Greater Zurich, the emphasis of course is given to the S-Bahn.

Hundreds of crashes ? Are very good business for the Garages all over the place ! And will reduce car-traffic in the next few days.

3 feet? not bad!
as for the crashes the additional benefit is reduced number of tailgating idiots..biggest cause of crashes after driving too fast for conditions

Snow, snow, go away.. come again... how about never!
Looks like you got your wish
Can't wait for summer!

I'm stucK in the Seeliburg tunnel because of BLIZZARDS here in NW region. Blizzards are heavy snow with hiigh winds! Like here!

Noooo!!!
Snow!!!
What am I going to do today?
Drive somewhere - have an accident?
Sit staring at the computer screen all day?? Aaaaargh!!

Living in the Oberaargau outback can be sh!t sometimes.......
Any suggestions for (fun) snowy activities - and I don't mean shovelling......

I want one of these right now.

A semi automatic snowball maker

I'm sure whatever manufacturers, they would be very happy to have their sale increased for even one more day in March:

Get to the nearest train-station and escape to Zug or Zurich

It's stopped and the suns out!
