Winter has started

The trees have only just started to turn colour, a couple of weeks ago we were still in shorts, but already we have snow. It is only just into October and we don't expect it to stay for long but it bodes well for the future. There may not look like much down here at the chalet, about an inch. But we are only at 1100mtrs our nextdoor neighbour was on top of Pleney this morning (at 1600mtrs) where there was nearly 10 cms. Definitely time to break out the winter woolies and wax the board (just in case).
