Almost stuck in a snow blizzard

Today's trip was the last of our WW I journey. But boy what a trip it turned out to be! We left Saint Die des Vosges in a little drizzle and knew from the weather forecast that riding any col to our last destination (Thann) was NOT a good idea - so we decided to take a detour. But every road out of the valley was blocked because of snow. We really had to ride 100 km or so to find an open road and at first it seemed OK and fun to drive - that is until a snow blizzard started and we a) couldn't see a thing because of our blocked visors, b) were almost blown of our bikes by the galls and c) couldn't ride the road because of the ice and snow. We had to wait for the snowplough to come through and after we followed it carefully continue our way. After hours we arrived in Thann and after a quick dip in the Jacuzzi and sauna started to feel human again. Thanks to our Rukka suits and Yamaha bikes we made it through. WE didn't see any other bikes on our way...
