The snow was about 30cm deep. Enough for tobogganing and snowball battles, but not much compared to the alpine regions where we actually have tons of snow, at most skiing places here in Switzerland. Pics of week 4 are from approx. 600m altitude, and down in the city (400m alt.) there was no snow at all, so far. In general the winters have become warmer, here, too, but it's difficult to estimate what's climate change and what's statistic fluctuation. We've had brown winters 35 years ago, and 2.20m of snow in the city of Zurich, three years ago. It can also strongly vary from alpine region to region. Didier >Lovely scenes but where is the SNOW? Are you having climate change >problems that are affecting your area seriously? In the scenes with snow, >how deep is it and what is the elevation? I live at 2200 meters >elevation and snow is scarce this year in the Rocky Mountains. > >Kind Regards, >Mike >Mike Stoesz >Laramie Digital/Photo Center >Laramie, Wyoming, USA >>http://mogool.com/PAW2008/?pic=5
