And everyone was stressing mid-December that there was no snow in the Alps

Well to answer everyone's question/text messages/telephone calls from the last days.....no we had no trouble getting back last weekend. The road to the village or valley down was blocked on Friday morning after the passage of Thursday's storm but all was relatively quickly cleared for us. We did not lose electricity either.
Bummer that all ski slopes were closed last Friday due to the avalanche risk because it was actually a sunny day again.   Oh well, I am not a ski fanatic, so I am not too upset that the weather prevented me from skiing every day.
