Looking like a wet weekend.....
Looking decidedly wet for friday nights' Gloucester-Dover-Chamonix drive,
but wet rather than white, and probably quite windy too :-( Still, that means fresh stuff higher up the hill! (and quite a bit by sunday night!) |

Looking decidedly wet for friday nights' Gloucester-Dover-Chamonix drive, but wet rather than white, and probably quite windy too :-( Still, that means fresh stuff higher up the hill! (and quite a bit by sunday night!) It does indeed look rather miserable. We are driving from Lyon to Bourgey on Friday night, then Saturday morning from Bourgey to Tignes. Cloud bases look to be low too as it is a warm sector over the area so plenty of hill fog to get through. Snow chains won't be needed until well above 1500m. The cold front goes through Sunday morning which should bring very cold temperatures (MS10degC at 1500m) with it and help preserve the overnight powder....! Joe |

Who knows what will really happen, fickle mountain weather. Clive |

Meteo France have the freezing levels rising very quickly today with the rain/snow limit reaching 2000m on Sunday afternoon, thereafter it gets chilly with snow showers. I'm off to Tignes this afternoon, can't wait ! Joe |
