Re: Anyone reckon there'll be more snow?

Snowing all the way down to about 500m here and looks set for the day. If the temperature drops, it should make for a good ski Easter weekend up here.

Lots of spring snow in Fribourg, will probably melt pretty fast though.

It is too early to pack away the cold weather gear. It will snow again before Easter for sure.

Re: Anyone reckon there'll be more snow?

Not to make it sound like a fool's day joke but it's quite chilli today. Cycled to shops and saw hill tops surrounding Neuenhof/Wettingen covered with whitish frost.

well... welcome to Switzerland. I think it was in 2005 when we had snow (at around 700m) in early May, and we also had snow in September once. So, in the end you're left with only 3 guaranteed snow free months.....

Re: Anyone reckon there'll be more snow?

It is typical weather for April a bit of summer and a bit of winter. When I was cycling to work this morning the temps were around 5 deg C with very frosty wind blowing into my face.

Re: Anyone reckon there'll be more snow?

snow in early april, not-so-good easter w/end, 3 days of scorching heat, last w/end so-and-so and today it looks like november...
just imagine what tomorrow will bring... how do you do weather forecasting in CH? stick a finger in the air and hope for the best?

Re: Anyone reckon there'll be more snow?

6 degrees in Walchwil and I feel freezing. Another small gripe - how I miss being able to adjust the heat at the turn of a dial, sigh ...

Me too. But, of course, I then fled to Italy for the past two weeks.
