Weather

We had a cold clear start to the day, with a steaming Isère river providing proof of just how chilly it was in town. Whilst temperatures will stay relatively low all day, with maximums of -3°C at 2000m and -8°C at 3000m, we are actually going to get a healthy dose of sunshine this morning, before the weather takes a turn and the snowclouds return and start dumping down the white stuff from around half 8pm this evening. By tomorrow morning, we're predicted somewhere between 15 and 25cm of fresh snow and 10 to 20cm more tomorrow during the day. Unfortunately, as with the last dump of snow, winds will pick up and blow the snow around a fair bit. It won't be quite the gale force winds of last weekend, but gusts of up to 80km/h can still be expected overnight.
