Remarkable how quickly it's all melted

Still goes to show anything can happen with weather in the Alps. I wonder if anyone bought the farm? It wasn't unexpected, the Meteo said the weather might be bad, I guess the lesson is if it's the Alps and the forecast says "the weather might be a little iffy, possibly, a little rain maybe, depending" - stay the hell of the hill!
