Winter 2015 had been unremarkable until a few days ago when it started to snow. We have had the heaviest snow I have seen here in Saint-Savin. It has closed all the ski stations due to the risk of avalanche and is forecast to stay cold with fresh snow for the next week. Not only that, there is high winds forecast for midweek. Inevitably the snow will be followed by floods when the thaw comes.
This photo was taken from an upstairs window in Pyrénées Cycling Lodge.

Beautiful photo. Wish I had that view.
