Avalanche Footage from France Will Prove It’s Finally Snowing in Europe – A Lot

If you saw an avalanche pounding towards your town in the valley, what would you do?

I hope you correctly answered that you’d pull out your phone and film! Because that’s what this person did.

After one of the worst starts to the season you could imagine in Europe with more Fall like conditions than winter, the snow has finally arrived right across the board.

But without a proper base set up, the snow has not settled as it should and the sheer volume of snow has proved to be too much in multiple locations across Europe.

Not the least in France, where this video was shot. It’s scary, but not quite “change your underpants” kind of scary, though I guess it’s just part of nature and living in the mountains.
