Great snow but cold weather
Probably anyone reading this is aware of the epic amounts of snow that
have been falling throughout the alps, particularly here in Switzerland, but a chance remark just made me go and look at the weather forecast (for Engelberg) for the coming weekend. Overnight temperature on Friday/Saturday night, at 3000m, is forecast to be -38C (-55C windchill). I don't think I've ever experienced quite such low temperatures in Europe before. Canada, yes, but not over here. Even the daytime high for the village level is only expected to rise to around -18C or so. And I'll be standing around teaching :-( So I'd advise anyone travelling soon to pack every item of warm clothing they've got!
