It snowed all day. Again. The Jungfraubahn (railway company) have managed to reopen the line up to Kleine Scheidegg.
Nobody actually went up, of course, as the weather is still awful. We ventured out for shopping.
We had expected the weather to be a little nicer down in Interlaken, but it was still mighty unpleasant. We were glad to get back home.
Super raclette at Ali’s last night, here are the raw ingredients.
3 different cheeses, beef, pork and bacon, salad, boiled potatoes and veg. We spent hours eating, and we still couldn’t finish it all.
This morning it was still snowing. There were a few ski lifts open at Scheidegg, but no trains owing to severe avalanche danger. The snow paused after lunch and I cleared the terrace and balcony again, but the snow soon started again. It’s a day for housework.
The snow continued all night. It was particularly heavy at breakfast time.
I cleared 15 inches of snow from the terrace. Meanwhile, Val was indoors polishing some more of our furniture.
The council have lots to do on mornings like this. At last our path gets cleared.
It’s still snowing now, but we’ll have to venture out later for dinner at Ali’s. Fortunately, it’s only 100 yards away.
The storm swept through overnight, and brought with it snow. Val is polishing furniture while I trudge up to the village. Very few people around.
It’s not cold – temperatures are hovering around zero.
Storm Luis is rapidly approaching, so waking up to sunshine this morning was a very pleasant surprise. We had a wander around the village after lunch. Another nice surprise came from the Gemeinde (local council), who have told us that we no longer need to wear our masks in the main streets in the village.
This afternoon the storm continues to approach, the mountains are disappearing and the wind is whistling around our chimney. Our balcony furniture is tucked away in a corner, so hopefully it’ll all still be there when the bad weather is over.
Yesterday’s storm blew itself out overnight, and now we have a relatively pleasant day before the next one arrives tomorrow. With all the clouds there weren’t many mountain views today, but we did get a nice glimpse of the Breithorn as we passed the Caprice this afternoon.
We’ll get one more chance to get shopping tomorrow before the next storm, which is forecast to last several days, arrives.
We had a super dinner last night. Colin had been hard at work making pasties. I made chips and we had baked beans for good measure.
This morning was nice, with mild temperatures and a little sunshine. After lunch it got quite stormy, and by the time we got back from our shopping trip a lot of the ski lifts had closed owing to the high winds. It’s going to be a gusty evening by the look of things.
