What a sudden drop in temperature. Last week it still was 25-30C (75-85F), this week the temperature barely is going over freezing with daytime temperatures of 6C (42F).

With the cold temperatures, we are also getting the first snow. Well, almost – the snow is not yet hitting Zug itself, but is clearly visibly on the surrounding hills and mountains, including our “housemountain” Rigi. Still a month or two before the ski-slopes start opening, but the early snow should help providing a good base for upcoming snow … at least, if the temperatures don’t rise all much again in the next few weeks.

Here is a picture of snow-covered Rigi from our balcony. You can clearly see the snowline is not that much higher than the houses in the foreground. Not the best picture, but wanted to share the news with you:
