Snow reports from Pyrenees Mountain ski resorts
It seems everywhere is getting plenty of snow except the Pyrenees! The east coast of America is in the grip of a serious winter storm and the UK has been under snow for the past few weeks.
Some resorts in the Pyrenees have reasonable cover, notably Cuaterets and Gavarnie/Gedre in France with well over a metre, plus Astun, Boi Taull, Candanchu, and Cerler in Spain.
Very little snow is forecast for the coming days, although it is due to remain cold, giving the resorts a chance of preserving the snow they already have.
