How cold???
"Simon Brown" spake thusly to the assembled
multitudes, agog with barely concealed anticipation: Locals now forecasting very cold with little snow due to the activity of the moles. It's not going to snow because of the moles? Well, you know what you have to do.... Shoot the *******s!!!!! |

Seriously it's because the molehills are flat instead of heaped up. I am not
jesting, no I haven't been on the funny cigarettes either. -- Simon Brown, Postfach 159, CH-7031 Laax www.hb9drv.ch "Julian Barkway" wrote in message ...

I'd not be tso surprised, it staggers me how cold it gets in Chamonix town centre this time of year. The cold air just seems to drop to the valley floor and and the sunlight just doesn't reach it sometimes. I think the tourist office has it as -10 this morning but I'm not sure where they measure it. It's -5 here in the OdenWald in Germany, temperatures are dropping. Although it snowed near Lausanne at 550 meters so it is definitely colder. I'm glad I put the winter tyres on yesterday then :-) If it dumps loads in November then actually manages to stay cold in December rather than raining I will be impressed. -- Yeah, because you never know when the value of 2^15 will change and you have to go through all your code fixing it. -- Paul Tomblin |

We had about 3 inches fall last night around here (at ~400m) - was quite wet and re-froze onto the car windscreen, which was annoying. Most of the roads were completely clear, but quite a lot had settled. From the grey skies I'd say there was more on the way... -- Ace (bruce dot rogers at roche dot com) Ski Club of Great Britain - http://www.skiclub.co.uk All opinions expressed are personal and in no way represent those of the Ski Club. |

I think you'll find "they" are not bona fide meteorologists. "They" are more likely to be idiots like me posting to news groups :-) However, I (in my capacity as random poster to r.s.r.e) reckon it's going to be a big winter, simply because really hot summers are sometime followed by cold snowy winters and I'm on a lucky streak (my last day of skiing last season was in Jackson Hole in 21" of overnight powder). Not that this prediction changes anything, I'm still leaving booking to the last minute where I can and I'm taking a good book to read for my New Year trip to the Grand Massif, just in case. And I don't care for the predictions of moles. |
