How To Prevent Friends For Seeing My Friends

beautiful hair dryer!

Or as a professor used to say at the Meteorological Institute in Innsbruck in each case: " The hair dryer is as stimulating as a cup of good coffee ." Nothing to add.

has any case of the foehn today brings us a beautiful day. Although it took a moment, took off up the high and medium high clouds (föhngeschwächte remains of a first cold front). We were now on the road Föhnrand - from bridge in the Zurich Oberland Schnebelhorn (after all, the highest peak of the canton of Zurich ...) and the Chrüzegg to Wattwil.

The wind was generally weak, in the classical Föhnregionen The course has been looking different. Especially in the Reuss valley a veritable foehn storm raged, further north of the hair dryer was due to the above-mentioned weak cold front during the day temporarily pause

Here are some visual impressions. Striking were still one: Despite the foehn storm the visibility was not very good. The reason: On the southern side, it has not rained today - the air was in the north but were very dry (relative humidity below 25% in part), but the dirt particles are not washed out by rain. Until tomorrow, that will change, I guess that the view will still be a lot better:

The haze over the valley (Linthebene) shows that there is no hair dryer blowing. See also course
