and though the first day of summer is less than a month from now, there is still significant – and unusual – coverage in the Alps.
“Thanks to the continuous bad weather of recent weeks, along with temperatures below seasonal standards, the accumulated snow in the mountains of Switzerland is not melting,” according to the weather service of MeteoSwiss, reports albinfo.ch.
“Over 2500 meters, the snow layer continues to thicken,” reports MeteoSwiss.
Spring has been very unusual in Switzerland, with mostly low temperatures, storms and snow in the mountains.
