All that can be said for now is that | there was a big dump down to about 2000 m yesterday, forecast down to | 1500 m this afternoon, but unfortunately remaining mild for the rest | of the week at least. | Yeah these southerly gales have done a lot of damage, in the space of four days 25cms down at 800m in Bourg Saint Maurice has vanished, the snowline retreating back up to 1600m in Les Arcs. Meteo France has got it all wrong as well, heavy rain and snow high up was forecast from last Sunday for most of the week in the Savoie. Not a drop so far. Pete |
