Record-Breaking Snowfall Blankets Ski Resort in Austria

Record-breaking snowfall blanketed the Obertilliach Ski Resort in East Tyrol, Austria, on December 9, according to local reports. The snowstorm left several feet of snow and 4,000 households in East Tyrol without electricity, according to local media outlets. Markus Bayrhofer posted this live stream video showing buildings and roads covered in snow to his storm chasing Facebook page. He told Storyful that while snowfall is normal for the season, the amount that recently fell was not. “2m [6.6 feet] of snow in 4 days was very unusual,” Bayrhofer said.
