Finally winter🏔️❄️🥶🌬️💨
It fell to about 30cm, but due to the strong wind, there were drifts of up to about 70cm.
It was tiring, because I was usually the first to pave the way.💪

I optimistically thought that there would be up to 0.5 m of dry snow today, but it fell only about 15 cm. Difficult conditions (fog, wind), and very few people 🗻💨🫧❄️☃️
