Again windy at home

02 June 2007

There was Föhn (strong southwind) last week - Föhn goes up to 120km/h in the strongest valleys and on the mountains (especially around Innsbruck). Sounds good so far - but it is very very very gusty at Lake Achen, as there are mountains everywhere around and the wind has to hit the lake in the right angle.
Well the weatherreport said the Föhn would break down (Föhn usually keeps up nice, warm weather) and a coldfront comes during the day (not in the night this time :) ). Lot of windsurfers were at the lake. It was cooling down from around 23°C to 8°C!!!
So i had a nice session on my 5,2 360Free and my I-Style94 with north wind, which is just great, pretty constant and strong. I was out 5 hours until almost nobody else was there anymore, because it was really cold already...
.... later (in the night) they had to close some roads cause of heavy snowfall!!!
