The passes are blocked by snow
... in all my winter gear and was extremely happy when this long pipe through the mountains finally came to an end.
As I approached the end of these tunnels I could watch the temp dropping every few seconds and finally it was back to an average of about 10 Celsius most of the day. Not bad at all for this time of year.
