Post by: Matt on December 05, 2010, 22:32:29: Sally gap is still impassable. I'd say wait till the weekend at the earliest to give the snow a proper chance to melt - tis meant to still be freezing all week.

Post by: kmck on December 06, 2010, 21:47:49: Bill that reminds me of a an invitation to the swiss navy to come over to america for some training exercises or something, If I was going to the land of chocolate I would take a plane and some LSD just to keep it interesting.

Title: Re: Alpine snow melt Paddling?
Post by: Nuala on December 08, 2010, 22:30:22: Thawing slowly tomorrow and Friday - should hopefully be enough to raise levels for ye.

Also, Matt, your dancing man doesn't look celebratory, more like he's irritatedly trying to find his way around in the dark.
