YAY!  that's normal winter

oh no.... time to make sure the apartment is stocked with beer and hot chocolate...

Looking  forward to seeing the photos of  your kama sutra snow sculptures in Chambesy, Charlie..

It'll be a veritable snow orgy Val...

Guess I'd better put my summer-tired car back into the box ASAP and leave it there...

And it's started (the snow, not the orgy), so going home......

Why???

Just take it out and do some spinning man!!

hey guys is it already snowing in Geneva? heavily? I hope I can make my way back from Lausanne without too much trouble!

yea, its already snowing here. Also, they've upped the warning to the highest level (just heard the news report from the meteo). So now its at red, and expected to get to 22cm. The good news is that they don't expect ice to form, which is great for you drivers out there. 

Like I said, time to grab your beer, and a good book. Forget that mess out there!

not good for my daily Geneva-Lausanne train commute...

thanks for the info Ariel! in Lausanne no snow at all at the moment.

Its really snowing now where I am, but, dont stress

I am already at home, car in the carport, logs on the fire buring away and a bottle of wine in the kitchen ever so slowly seems to be getting closer to miraculously opening itself---

Update: Over the next 72 hours, over 30cm expected (source:meteo)

BTW, does anyone know  what the most severe level is?  Is there a snow emergency equivalent,  like defcon 5  or  something?

Meanwhile,  saw this on youtube about snwo chemistry... actually very interesting... of course, I might have learned this by taking a chemistry course instead of stealing trays from the university cafeteria and going traying at night in the arboretum....while sipping peppermint schnapps...

Val, I can get ahold of some trays tonight at school.. if you've got the schnapps...  Butterscotch is my favorite ;)

Butterscotch schnapps? Never even heard of it... 

How nice.... I need to drive late at night and early morning. Shall i panic?

Maria, I wouldnt panic, but would not advise using this way to get your car out of the snow in the morning

Lol! My car is in the garage so its ok. At least these are good news!

How can you stock your appartment with beer if you have no toilet?

They finished the work on the shower yesterday (and the toilet on friday) and put the first coat of paint on the walls this afternoon. Ariel is a very happy lil snowed in person tonight. 

Balcony.  Step-ladder.

Hey, it works for me... 

don't know how it really works here in the winter, but in the UK if you couldn't get in it wasn't so much of a problem.  We got an email at 4.30pm today to advise us to leave home at least an hour earlier so we could get to work on time - is that just mean or is this normal Swiss working practice??

It's so beautiful outside... all white  . I wish it stays like that for few days. 

BTW, walking is the best way to get around.... and geneva is not that big city after all 

4 hours and 20 minutes to get from Lausanne to Geneva at the end... sorry I am not the biggest fun of snow right now!

If you cant work from home, I think that is normal.

20/22/30 cm, who cares!!!

Tomorrow I have a job interview at the airport, so a nice suit and high heels are already prepared.........

Will bravely battle a snow storm for a better job!!

So, i just waited for about an hour on the bus stop in Ferney, no buses came. Anybody know if they just threw in the towel and i should stay home?

All buses off for now Piotr, should make a new announcement soon!Stay home!

It seems that not all. A friend told me that his 56 seems to be on time. But that's far away from Ferney...

The busses are coming out...but not keeping to any schedules... good luck.

I passed some coming from Ferney to Grd Sac....
