A walk in the snow

by velopeloton on February 4, 2012 · 4 comments

It is still snowing here today and very cold. Temperatures last night on Pic du midi fell to -25°c, with the wind-chill that is -44°c. It is currently -6°c here in Saint-Savin at 12:00.

A couple days ago I went for a walk in the snow. I only got about 1km above the village, before the snow got too deep to walk any further without snowshoes.
