Re: Anyone reckon there'll be more snow?

Central Switzerland is totally bleak & cold with intermittant small-flaked snow & plenty of fog - no sign of spring at all...

Re: Anyone reckon there'll be more snow?

Half past four this morning "CCCCGGGGGGRGRRRRRRRUUUNNNGGGGEEEE" the village snow plow was scraping the three cm's of snow off the road and I was vertical in bed.
I could have happily strangled the driver.

Re: Anyone reckon there'll be more snow?

Burt the dusting is super dangerous as it is frozen underneath.
Highways here FR to Vd have been closed and other highways are completely stuck ....Lausanne etc

Just kitted myself out with full ski gear (after renting for a season) but not so keen on the compact/icy stuff as I still regard myself as a beginner.

A nice thick layer of new snow would be a Godsend but don't know if we're going to have any now things are warming up.

I suppose there's always Titlis but always too many people & more expensive.

Re: Anyone reckon there'll be more snow?

I blame the OP for tempting fate by starting this thread. It's snowing again.

Ha! And more in the next day or so but... according to good weather reports there could be some periods where the sun breaks through like these yesterday (Skiing for me is over now):
