Hey mister snowman...

Welcome back. After weeks of snow melt, today mister snowman came back. With some nice fresh powder.
This shows the interesting part of alpine catchment research. The field season starts in June to September in which the data has to be collected.

After a long winter, which started +/- September 2011, our catchment is still white colored.The lower parts of the Alptal are snow free but after AT 8 the snow cover closes again up to 1m in thickness!! We reinstalled the Gauges and repaired the winter damage and hope for a good F3.
