They are also predicting 1-2 feet of new snow here in the Alps in the coming days.
Would be good, because in the last weeks it was already so warm again that most of the snow melted away.
For once, the weather service was not wrong here and it got ca. 30-50cm of fresh snow here.
That's ca. 1.5 feet in American terms.
I got up at 5am in the morning today to shovel away the snow in front of the house (I really like to clear away the fresh snow early in the morning when nobody is awake yet and then get back in to read the morning newspaper).
