[PHOTOS] Day 2 of the Summer Snowstorm in the European Alps

Brrr--The Unusually Chilly, Snowy August

The European Alps are experiencing a rare August snowstorm, with some areas receiving up to a foot of snow. The storm, which began on Tuesday, is expected to continue through Wednesday. The snow has caused travel disruptions and power outages in some areas. It has also led to the closure of some mountain passes.

The snowstorm is unusual because it is occurring in August, which is typically a warm and dry month in the Alps. The storm is being caused by a combination of factors, including a cold front from the north and a low-pressure system over the Mediterranean Sea. The snowstorm has taken many people by surprise, as it is not typical for snow to fall in the Alps during this time of year.

Transportation Troubles

The snowstorm has caused travel disruptions in some areas of the Alps. Several mountain passes have been closed due to snow and ice. The closures are causing delays for travelers and some roads have been closed temporarily. The snow has also made driving conditions hazardous for both drivers and pedestrians.

The snowstorm has also caused power outages in some areas. The outages are due to the weight of the snow on power lines. The outages are affecting homes and businesses in some areas and some residents have been left without power for several hours.

The Snow in Pictures

The snowstorm has created some beautiful scenery in the Alps. Many people have taken to social media to share photos of the snow-covered mountains and landscapes. The photos show the beauty of the Alps in the summer and the unusual sight of snow in August.

The snowstorm is expected to continue through Wednesday. It is not clear how much more snow will fall, but it is likely that the storm will continue to cause travel disruptions and power outages in some areas.
