[Idyllchat] weather

Hi Michaela,

I'm living in the plains of Switzerland, in Olten - but my mother 
lives in Meiringen - and I'm sure, she would have called me if they 
had gotten snow in Meiringen! I agree, it wasn't the warmest and 
sunniest summer here in Switzerland - and right now we are having a 
cold snap that announces the fall season. It is realy possible, that 
you are able to see the snow at Meiringen, on the mountain tops but 
not across the street...

For local weather, got to the website of The Weather Channel. They 
have the forecast for Interlaken, a bigger town just 25 km from 
Meiringen: http://tinyurl.com/2qhvv3 (the service of tinyurl.com is 
absolutely trustworty, it makes a short URL out of a long one).

Expect about the same weather than in Interlaken. A warm sweater 
and a jacket is advisable, it can be cold - at least in the morning 
and in the evening.

Kind regards from Switzerland,
Stefan
