Anyone know current conditions, or local forecasts?

One (or more) of these webcams should give you really up to date information. The 'tunnel' is there so you should find the ones nearest to the actual pass too...

Arettina, to be honest, I don't clean out the grate every morning, I do exactly what you do but always feel bad about it, don't feel I'm being the nice tidy proper little Tuscan housewife I should be! But it makes sense from a practical point of you, doesn't it? Keeps up the heart of the fire, or something? And, yes, we also keep logs piled high on either side of our grate. Talking of which reminds me we need to have the chimney swept soon.
