Cat Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 You could try this http://www.meteofrance.com/FR/trafic/index.jspClick on an area of the map to zoom in, or choose a town from the list. If there are any known driving problems in that area they are highlighted by a yellow exclamation sign. Rolling your cursor over the sign will bring up details of the problem.I can't see any road closures due to snow at the moment though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillan Posted November 4, 2007 Author Share Posted November 4, 2007 [quote user="Geordie girl"]What snow quillan? We've got glorious sunshine. Am i missing something.[/quote]No but I know last week two Cols were closed due to snow because my guests got turned back. Some guests today asked if they were open and I couldn't find the information anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shows snow in one Col and the other (near Andorra which is where my departed guests are going today..... Ooops) is actually closed through to Spain.

lacote0_0 Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 I would say that the snow line in the Alps is about 2500 metres, light snowremaining above that altitude from last precipitation about 2 weeks ago. Thereare normally dates, published in departmental sites, after which thecols are not ploughed; see, for example http://www.savoieroute.com/previsions_ouverture_fermeture-etat_des_cols-7.html.

Audois Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 QuillanI find that amazing ... I drove up to Andorra via Quillan/Camurac last Monday without any problems ... no snow on the road at all .. some on the sides .. same in AndorraTry 'Info Ariege' - when I know the snow is bad that's the number I call - but I haven't got it to hand! Ask the gendarmerie for it or pick it up off the automated panels in Ax/Hospitalet ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
