on 11 October....next time these japanese tourists should read ( before ) the weather forecast. Heavy snow wit gusty wind up to 100 km/h. Very difficult conditions to go there on the famous mountain called jungfraujoch.

Your threads are awesome

Perhaps it is time for a single ###official crazy Swiss weather thread### which you can then update so we can see how it changes as it saves having to look over loads and loads of different threads.

Seperate threads is better imo means it's a frequent break to the rest of the crap

this video has been turn on the jungfraujoch ( the peak is about 4000 meter above sea ). On the top of the mountains you can also arrive by train, there are also a restaurant and off course the train station. The building is maximum 150 meters back, from the video it seems there are nothing but obviously it's not the truth. If you stay 15 minutes with with this weater condition you risk to die because the temperature is about -12 degree with a gusty wind of 80 - 100 km/h, you feel about -40 degree

the jungfraujoch is amazing. it was nice and clear when i was there, but cold. you do get pretty breathless with minimal exertion at that height.

www.swisspanorama.com has got a webcam from here and also a few others nearby

Yikes, this is set to head my way in SW FL. This has Wilma 2005 written all over it. EXACT time of yr also, when storms are rare. They completely mis-forcasted Wilma.. It went on and ended up being the most powerful Hurricane ever recorded in the Atlantic Basin.

Though it weakened substantially before it made SW FL landfall, it still tore up my town and the rest of South Florida pretty bad.

Anyway Rina, at first was oh it'll never go above tropical storm status, and now its bearing down on the Yucatan as a CAT3

They predict it to be only a CAT1 when it comes my way, if indeed it ever does, however that's what they said about Wilma too..

The late October snowstorm which blanketed the eastern U.S. from West Virginia to Maine:

This visible image from the MODIS instrument on NASA's Aqua satellite on October 30, 2011 at 11:30 a.m. EDT shows the extent of snowfall from the Halloween weekend Nor'easter that spread snow from West Virginia to Maine along the U.S. East coast. The snow is seen blanketing the ground, while clouds remain off-shore over the Atlantic Ocean. Credit: NASA Goddard MODIS Rapid Response Team
