:) I just booked a long weekend to Dusseldorf for the beginning of December. Take in the Christmas Markets and watch some of the Sprint Ski event they do alongside the river.

Hoping that will help the wait till Feb for my first booked Ski Hol to Kitzbuhel.

I fail to see the point of summer anymore. Winter then Spring, over and over would suit me just fine :)

Be careful what you wish for...

As just posted in the News section - sun spot activity is currently less than expected, and the sun may be about to enter a quiet period.

The well-known "Maunder Minimum" (when very few sun spots were observed) lasted 70 years and coincided with the "Little Ice Age".

Fancy a 70-year ski season??? :shock: :D :D :D

The weather during the Maunder Minimum was extremely unpleasant. Long bitterly cold, but dry winters (the glaciers in the Alps stopped advancing) followed by cool wet summers leading to shortened growing seasons, failed crops, and widespread famine. Perhaps last winter wasn't too bad after all.

And the great thing is that you could drive on the "ice roads" across the channel. No tunnel or ferry charges :wink:
