There are some expats who chose to live in, or near, Zürich.
They are now complaining about the weather.

I chose to live elsewhere, at just under 1000 meters above sea level. I did so in the knowledge that in this area, we can have snow from October to April. That is seven months a year and I love it!
It was a lot warmer this year, than in previous years. We had an unusually long and hot summer and a wonderful autumn. Now, at last, winter has us in its grips and the weather prophets have promised us a meter of snow for Christmas!
I am thrilled!

For those of you who either chose the wrong part of Switzerland to live in, or chose to live somewhere entirely different - here are some photographs I took this morning.

A taste of things to come.
