Voted 10/10 | What was the weather like on the summit? It looks surprisingly calm in the photo. | | Posted Dec 5, 2008 4:51 pm |
 | | kogo | Re: very interesting! | | Hasn't voted | The storm has already calmed down at this point of time. The peak values have been reached in the western areas of Austria and in Switzerland (at the summit of the Patscherkofel near Innsbruck up to 150 km/h, Barnese highlands up to 246km/h).
