I enjoyed my trip to the UK, catching up with lots of friends and spending some quality time with the folks. I’m glad to be back in Chamonix now though. It seems I’m back just in time for the arrival of winter. It was raining hard when I arrived in Geneva and the temperature dropped quickly while driving up into the Mont Blanc Massive. The clouds remained and yesterday it started to snow in the centre of town.

Waking up this morning, there’s a few inches of snow on the ground on the valley floor and plenty more than that up high. It’ll melt away of course, but some of the snow up high will stay and form a base layer which will slowly be built on as we get closer to mid-December when the lifts open and the ski season gets underway. It’s great to see Chamonix covered in snow. It looks so clean and perfect (for a short while). When it’s not winter here, I sometimes have trouble imagining what it’s like to have snow.
