Why? Too much snow?
Thousands Trapped by Record Snowfall in Europe - 6 Mar 06
Heavy blizzards swept through Western Europe over the weekend, killing at least seventeen. Some regions in Germany , France , Switzerland and Italy saw the heaviest March snowfalls in nearly three decades. Several thousand travelers returning from ski holidays in southern Germany and France were trapped on the roads as record snowfalls slowly buried their cars.
The Red Cross provided emergency shelters in Germany and France, where some 2,600 tourists were housed in the town hall in Bourg-Saint-Maurice in the French Alps after snow made travel impossible. Even so, many had to spend the night in their vehicles.
Train traffic in southern Germany was virtually shut down, and Frankfurt International Airport experienced one of its worst weekends in decades.
If you think weather is climate than there is no point in having a debate.
Climate change causes greater extremes.
So are you saying you would think buying land in the Netherlands or investing in a ski resort in the Alps is a good idea?
By the way, the season is Austria is 2.5 weeks shorter than 15 years ago.
