Schnee

After spending two weeks in the tropical sun, what a treat it is to come home and see that tomorrow's forecast includes a chance of schnee (snow). Contrary to stereotypes of pristine Alpine Swiss villages, Basel is at a fairly low elevation and doesn't really get much snow, so this seems a bit unusual. Looking on the bright side, hopefully it means the mountains are due for lots of snow so we can have a good ski season...
