winter an area in Austria which is famous for its low temperatures,
some 65 miles south west of Vienna.
Imagine all the rain in December and January in Britain falling as
snow. Well this is what has happened in this area of Austria where
the snow depth is approaching 2 metres or 6 feet, enough to satisfy
all but the most ardent of snow fans on this new group. The sun there
has just risen above the hills into a clear blue sky with a
temperature of minus 13C. Last year also they had a great deal of
snow even though the height is a rather modest 1500 metres. I am
thinking of organizing a trip there for Weather eye readers but I
expect some from this news group would find it a very enjoyable place
too.

I've been watching snow reports for Austria for a couple of months or so, as I am visiting there in 2 weeks - it's been interesting to see that it has snowed heavily, in some places, at least every other day for the past 2 weeks.

All I'm worried about is the Avalanche danger!
