Blizzard

As forecast, we awoke to a light covering of snow this morning. During the day, the temperature has not been above zero degrees and more powdery snow has fallen. An hour or so ago, we decided it would be prudent to pop down into Massat to get in some supplies. We were greeted by full on blizzard conditions on our return but fortunately the plough had passed along our chemin and the winter tyres did a good job. -3 degrees C here now! Conditions tomorrow could be interesting and certainly the avalanche risk in the mountains will be very high. But hopefully skiing in Ax-3-Domaines on Friday- it should be a veritable powder-fest!
