We've got no snow at all. It's really weird going up on the hill when it's minus 16 degrees, the sun is shining brightly and the ground is hard as iron but completely dry and brown. (When I say "we" I mean "those of us in my part of Austria" - some of the ski resorts have got 3 metres of snow - on the whole, I think I'd rather have no snow than 3 metres' worth). But something very strange is going on when Lower Austria is snowless and Oxford has enough that people can go skiing.
