Spring has sprung!

Looking at the webcams from La Thuile and La Rosiere this morning - plus the temperatures forecast over the next three days - it looks more like April than December! What little snow there is will struggle to last given temps around 10-12 degrees this week. Time for that north wind to blow!

Don't get too used to it... temperatures look set to drop by about 15C across The Alps through Xmas Day...

So say weathermen - people keen on science but were no good at it!

Yup, rain last week and generally warm days made it very spring-like. Grass looks very fresh and green. Foehn is blowing currently. Another cold spell is expected soon but it might be another high-pressure system, snow is needed. Quite a lot fell last week but it was followed by rain all the way up to 2700 meters so conditions are challenging. And until it snows they will persist.
