We have had our first snow (see picture top left).
About 4-5cm fell in the village here but soon disappeared as snow turned to rain and then slush. There's still a good covering on the mountains behind the house to about 1,500 metres. Sadly the cols Croix de Fer, Galibier and Glandon are now all shut as a result, an end to high altitude cycling for the time being. Still, it's good news for those coming to ski with us this winter.
As usual at this time of year we are busy moving, chopping and stacking firewood. We have 15 square metres of the stuff to shift before the snow really arrives in earnest, somehow it seems to take a lot of the romance away from the idea of a crackling log fire!
