Saint Prex, Vaud, Switzerland 13 January: snow near Lake Geneva

Geneva, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) – Snow right down to the lakefront is relatively unusual on Lake Geneva, but with temperatures hovering around -1C until 08:00, and snow falling all night, lakefront villages had the kind of snow ski resorts envy. TSR reports that the airport snow was of “exceptional quality” but also unusually slippery, which accounted for Geneva airport closing until 11:00. Geneva police reported a “normal” number of accidents in the region, but one in Thonex was a little more unusual than most: a man taking his wife to the hospital to have a baby hit a tram when his car slipped in the snow during a turn. There were no injuries, reports 20 Minutes.
