Default Alpine Summer snow


Last year in the Bernese Oberland, Switzerland it was snowing at
about 1800m in July lasted a few hours - apparently it is normal when
I asked some locals - it was very snowy at Kleine Scheidegg 2061m on
the railway between Interlaken/Wengen and Grindelwald. It was also in
cloud which was good as the tourists could not see the restaurant
Eigernordwand so it was quiet as we watched the cloud lift part way up
the face. Then the tourists could see it and we left ...

I guess fairly unusual amount of snowfall over Zugspitze, in the
German Alps last night. I see from this mornings obs (10961) between
midnight at 0600 they picked up 35cm of fresh snow with a temperature
of around ms04. I can't find any stats of averages and extremes for
June. Anybody know?
