Only a couple of days ago I was in a bikini on the balcony. Today it's snowing. Now there is roughly 15cm of snow there instead of me, a book and a glass of wine.
Just two weeks ago was the first snow fall in Wengen, about 5cm. Then four days later, Männlichen had temperatures up to 20 C, the 30cm of snow didn't last long.
Last year we also had snow in October. After which it was sunny and warm again til mid December. Meaning the ground wasn't prepared for the coming winter that arrived on 18th Dec. A warm ground can lead to more chance of avalanches.
At the beginning of this week I was climbing at Eigergletscher. Here are some views from there.
There was a fair bit of fog this week, also in the UK I hear.
However,
climb high enough and it is beautiful!
Wengen lies at 1200m, just above the fog until...

Towards the end of my daily constitutional the fog had risen.
