Risk 4 (High) across much of the French Alps tomorrow. Take care if going off piste, or better yet, replan your trip.

Return to winter in the Northern French Alps: Up to 80cm of fresh snow in the Mont Blanc/Tarentaise/Beaufortain, dropping off in the south of the Savoie and Isere (10-30cm only). Very strong/storm force westerly winds and HIGH avalanche risk. Take care.

#valdisere le foehn a transformé la neige en glace vive sur les trottoirs et dans les rues de Val. Très difficile de garder son équilibre. Les crampons sous les chaussures sont indispensables.

First full French avalanche bulletins for the winter see a generalized risk 4 across most of the Alps and Pyrenees following fresh snow and high winds from the west.
#French #rail #strikes: only 5/22 TGV for Lyon, 4/27 for Bordeaux, 4/17 for Strasbourg, 6/16 for Lille, 4/24 for Rennes another day of misery for travelers. Around 21% of TGVs running but very patchy service. #greves #grevesncf

And if you are unlucky enough to be at the end of the line like Grenoble there are 0 (ZERO) trains. Grenoble 11th largest metropolitan area in France. #greves #grevessncf #strikes #sncf

So the #sncf claims that 20% of TGVs are running doesn't seem to include places where there is no service. #fakenews.
