Have snowed heavely last night.
So now it is 125 cm here by my house, more up the road.
A new record for decades, for shure!
With the expected more snow and then rain,
this looks quite daunting.
Main roads still closed and will be closed.
A bus with 20 persons was hit by an avalanche a bit
south of here they report on the radio just now...

It turns out the bus was mainly hit by the very strong winds
from an avalanche on the other side of the valley.. It was
forced off the road stopping at a 45 deg. angle by the road.
The doors were blocked and they couldn't get out for an hour.
Luckily nobody seems to be physically hurt. A woman inside
was talking to the regional TV and radio by phone.
