ALL THINGS AUSTRIA

[IslaArklayblend]

Myself, my wife, a best friend from school and his wife went to Lech in 1970.........................................but we went in the summer to take advantage of the location at its cheapest  for rambling and climbing. We were well impressed - Gruss Gott!

Wow, Is that even possible before mid September. 

[IslaArklayblend]

 carinthian Thanks for kind words about photos, carinthian.

It may interest camera geeks that these were originally Kodachrome Transparency (slides) taken by the then legendary cheap 35mm camera made in Hong Kong by Halina and costing around £10-12.

By sheer chance, the first photo of my former classmate on the Mohnenfluh summit also shows that Austria gave me one of the best photos of Cirrus Uncinus (hooked cirrus) possible.

 IslaArklayblend Yes, fantastic cirrus formations in those shots. You should send that to the photo section ?

cheers

Just checked outside. Still snowing heavy and now blowing about. Currently 25cm . Reports of many high routes impassable due to snowfall. Possible 200 cm by tomorrow at 2000m level. Avalanche warning i force across Salzburgerland with flood warnings lower down. I personally have never seen this amount of snowfall so early. The Polar Air certainly packing a punch .

Good Morning. Woke up to more snow. Continuous now for 30 hours. Temp in village 0.4c , snow depth 30cm at 1300m, 50cm at 1600m and 60cm plus at 1900m  and probabaly 100cm plus at 2200m on berg top. This is turning out to be one of the heaviest September snowfalls on record above 1000m . The picture taken about an hour a go.

 carinthian  Wow the weather never ceases to entertain, from sunbathing to skiing at the flick of a switch.  Some areas have been deluged, keep safe Carinthian.

[carinthian]

 Rush2019 Yes, crazy weather. The news over here is full of flooding pictures and will get worse when this lot starts to melt during the week as it drains into Lower Austria and other Central European river connections.
