#ExtremeAvalancheTime #Patience

Monday 2nd, 5.31, -2.5dg, snowing out my window and the snow ploughs are already clearing the road on their second pass. Forecasting snow all day for the village, and on the mountain a heavy fall of snow, heaviest during Sun night. Temperatures will be well below freezing (max -6°C on Tue morning, min -12°C on Mon night). Wind will be generally light. The whole week is going to be an on off snow week and the avalanche dangers are now so extreme here in many parts of Austria... last week they were going off all over the place, with entrapments and deaths, mainly when people are off ski touring and not on prepared piste. The radio news is just full of it. Yesterday the snow only came in after lunch, very lightly and intermittently rather than the full gas day they had forecast but it picked up and was coming down heavily by evening. My Sunday was a slow day cleaning the Dachboden for new incoming on Wednesday, and that means laundry work also... thank you Mr Miele for my rolling iron. smile emoticon Good time spent in the office clearing files to dump, and sorting paperwork for the house sale. Some ducks are moving slowly into place. Today will be a day on the end of a shovel, and if there is too much then I will get the snow plough out. I have no plan for the day, and am not sure about a proposed happening for today... Patience. My lawyer in NZ is busy and hasn't looked at my paperwork from two weeks ago... Choice!! ...Patience. My lawyer in Austria has not come back to me ...WIP... Patience. I understand that Rome was not built in a day, but I am beginning to dislike the word " patience " intensely.
