Somewhat predictably at least 2 deaths in the French Alps last week.

Avalanches! Everything from south came with a high freezing level and basically all aspects at certain altitudes had rain (made a weird layer) and then snow on top.
I will try and upload some pictures.

Looking at a map, you will see sand came from the South. Warm weather also comes from South. Sand layer now acting as a slide plane as it came with rain in lot of resorts at certain altitudes. Avalanche itself is not because of sand but is pretty indicative.
