    Snow in the Alps?

    Was just looking at this satellite animation... Has that moisture been falling as snow?

    Wohoo! Season's shaping up... Getting colder and wetter in Lillehammer, Les Arcs beginning to get snowy, Gressoney's got a dusting and Mammoth is slowly turning white. (Milton Keynes already has a nice base, too )

    It's all good

    So, edg, when are you going to get round to turning your hand to some much needed Angry Whelk flash animation?

    Looking good here. Snowed only a little at 1200m, but it did snow.

    Up high is doing well.

    And, as I type (12h47 Sunday), it is snowing again at altitude 1264m!!!

    Living at altitude 1264m (aka mytitude), Al.

    Looking over at the Chamoissaire, home of Villars and Les Diablerets.
    All covered in snow.
    Now, let's get those trees in the foreground covered in white too.
