Happy Boxing Day!
I've never understood why the Brits want to watch boxing the day after Christmas, but I digress!
Much colder today and for the next few days, but allegedly warming again next Monday and Tuesday. Curses.
Bit breezy today, with 20 kph at the base and 30 kph on top. Beware of possible Gondola closures if things worsen.
That's all I've got say about that.
Think snow.
