We had hardly any snow worth mentioning this year, here in Vienna. It was a different story in higher lying regions though where there was plenty.
Thus, while in the lowlands summer is just about to begin, here on Schneeberg there's still plenty snow left, and spring thus, above the treeline, will begin rather late this year - not before june it seems.
You might remember that I planned my First Ascent to Schneeberg for this year; due to my knee surgery my plans will be delayed considerably but I hope that I'll be able to at least reach base camp level at around about 1.300-1.500 metres above sea level some time soon.
