getting the train from BSM home tomorrow eve. Despite georgeous powder out there today - actually bum tickling deep, even on piste - and still snowing after starting 45 hours ago, am assured by viilage reps that buses and funiciualr will be fine tomorrow. Will however take crisps and water for the 20 min journey. from 1950 - 1600.
Our flight is sitting on the runway at Luton waiting for a slot at Geneva. Reduced capacity aparantly.

@ringingmaster, a friend came up to Annecy earlier via Taninges and it was fine. HEavy snow so good winter tyres needed and chains for the side roads.
Ploughs are going NON stop here but it is falling so fast.
After all it is free

@ringingmaster, they`ve all gone skiing.
We had that excuse last night - made up some time and ended up an 1hour late overall

I'm about 15 minutes drive from GVA and not in the least surprised there are delays. My garden is knee deep in fresh powder and the roads are more chaotic than I've seen. My 10 min commute home just took over an hour
snowHeads are a friendly bunch.

As we left our house by Lake Geneva at about 3pm it was starting to snow heavily, and our dog sitter has sent a photo of the situation in the early evening of pretty deep snow lying there now
We managed to drive around the lake, through the Valais and up to Leukerbad in pretty clear conditions, and it was only the last bit that was a bit trickier, but fine in our Honda CRV. However it hasn't stop snowing since, and snow around town now is pretty thick and fluffy. Saw a bloke being pulled through town on a snowboard by a Huskie.
And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

@bleudegex, but, I presume, Gex side. Which may mean deeper.
Our garden is at around 1,150m and I guess 40-50cms when we arrived this afternoon. SiL is at 1,000m and on her sheltered lawn about 80cms.
A small move sideways can make a big difference.
So if you're just off somewhere snowy come back and post a snow report of your own and we'll all love you very much

@under a new name, yeah sure, am maybe 200-300m higher than the airport. So should be less snow there, but it's still pretty chaotic all round.
You know it makes sense.

Got a flight out to Geneva at 3pm tomorrow.
Hopefully they'll have a handle on it by then.
Otherwise you'll just go on seeing the one name:

The roads up into Champagny are still clear, just seen a snow plough out around midnight and it has stopped snowing now so access should be fine tomorrow.

Hmmm, hubbie flying into Geneva tomorrow night for long weekend in Chamonix...place your bets on whether they make it they do have snowchains, and helmets
They did - flight about an hour late and roads a bit interesting, but all safely on site without too much ado.
