Karen,
Thank you for the update. I can see where Ivar's new Camino APP wold be of benefit in this situation.
Safe travels

At Roncesvalles, 40cm of snow is forecast through Wednesday.Heavy rain, wind and snow in the Pyrenees.
I for one am looking forward to a quick end of this weather. Please don't remind me of 2013 when it was still snowing like this well into May because I plan to be crossing at Somport late in May.A hard winter for our fellow pilgrims.
Take care and stay warm.
Buen Camino.
Wishing you and your family safe journey. Hopefully the conditions will improve. MayaWe have had a couple of rest days since starting (two kids had fevers on one day, poor things!), but have walked in rain or snow every day since we started on 14 Feb. The only clear days have been our rest days! Just finished a rest day in Logroño, back on the path tomorrow.
Just a healthy reminder, follow the advice given. Stick to the highways early on, the tracks are too dangerous in the snow. Safe travels to all!
I walked from early May 2013. I was lucky that I didn't have to plough through snow, but I did have to through the mud on the Rioja.I for one am looking forward to a quick end of this weather.

My winter experience of the Camino Frances was of cold, clement conditions. However, my spring experience of the Le Puy route the year before was like in your photos, especially the Aubrac Plateau.
But I feel more nostalgia now for that brutal plateau than for all the rest. Go figure.
So stay safe, take advice...and you won't forget any of this.

Hey Glenn, at least you might have had a chance to see the sun on Friday; it was the first time it came out in over a week. I'm sure you have encountered the less than happy faces of my Basque colleagues today. Take courage the forecast after Monday is pretty mild and that should melt the mountains of snow that fell last week.Hi all we are in Bayonne and head off at 6:00am tomorrow and see how we go. Not going over Pyraneese and take option B
Fingers crossed
Glenn
That being said, we aren't blaming Hollande for the snow in the Pyrenees this week. It's climate change, get used to it.
