Mark's Daily Weather Report
http://www.chamonet.com/snow_report.php
Tuesday 23rd March - Slightly worrying weather report today. Seems to have warmed up over the Alps and has been raining up to a height of 2,400m! Coupled with the Foene Wind (a warm dry wind that blows down northern slopes in the Alps) a.k.a "the snow-eater", we might need to do a snow dance come Saturday evening. I blame global warming. Au revoir.
