Paging Mr Brown
Simon, do I not remember you suggesting the locals saying it would be a
bumper snow year this season due to the moles or some such? What happened or will it arrive late??? regards, Greg |

I am beginning to worry that I may have to make a donation to a Swiss mole-related charity by way of an apology. |

hmm, looks like he covered all possibilities:
22/10: Locals are forecasting a mega-cold winter with loads of snow. And we all know what snow brings don't we? 23/10 Locals now forecasting very cold with little snow due to the activity of the moles. It's snowing here in Laax, got cold. |

I know - I was thinking the same. The forecast has changed in the last few
hours to heavy snowfalls over the weekend. We'll get the snow, looks like it'll be later in the season. Will give the moles a talking-to tomorrow. -- Simon Brown www.hb9drv.ch "Greg Hilton" wrote in message ... hmm, looks like he covered all possibilities: 22/10: Locals are forecasting a mega-cold winter with loads of snow.

Well the perfidious French groundhogs, or 'marmottes', have been lying through their teeth up here in the Tarentaise..... (no criticism of the trustworthiness of the French in general intended.....)

Hum, now 20 cms of excellent snow in Laax-Dorf, temp -3C, just been out
feeding the birds. Think there's a storm in the mountains, saw loads of people returning at lunchtime. -- Simon Brown www.hb9drv.ch "Greg Hilton" wrote in message ...

So I think I've another 119 chances left :-) Bet I ski more days than you each season though ;-) I mean, you won't ski at weekends, 'cos you say it's too busy, you won't ski when the sun's not shining, when it's too cold, when it's too hot, when there's too much snow, not enough snow or when it's the school holidays. By my reckoning, that means today's gonna be the last chance you get this season. -- Ace (brucedotrogers a.t rochedotcom) 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. |

Well last night it was -10C, today is already beautiful - 30cms virgin snow
down here, clear blue sky, sun shining. Forecast is for 4 to 5 days of nice mild weather so those skiing this week should have a very good time of it. Result: life doesn't get much better :-) -- Simon Brown www.hb9drv.ch "Greg Hilton" wrote in message ...
