I´m sitting in a hotel in La Massana while on a weekend shopping trip to Andorra, and hey... it´s snowing outside! :D It´s been so warm and dry recently, I didn´t think the season was going to be able to start on schedule, in just 3 weeks time! Lets hope the temperatures stay low!

I'm home now, and just realising how bad the accident was yesterday. The section that collapsed was close to the existing CG314 roadway, new tunnels are being connected to La Massana by this new bridge. While driving past the area, there were traffic delays and emergency lighting, but it was hard to see or appreciate just what had happened. I didn't think any more of it until watching news at breakfast. We stayed in the Abba Xalet Suites, on the mountain just above the construction site, but away from the town centre.
Condolences to the injured and killed workers families and friends.

It seems like snow cannons are in operation, they can be seen during the night on this webcam - http://andorrawebcams.andorramania.com/pal.php
