Velka Pardubicka 2019 is not under threat
Submitted by Robin on 5. March 2019 - 16:35March 2019 newsletter
Submitted by Robin on 3. March 2019 - 14:59February 2019 was a very mild month in the Czech Republic, with many bright sunny days. However, clear skies brought a good number of frosty nights and early mornings. I am told that there was still quite good skiing and plenty of snow at the end of February at elevations of 700 metres or more - many of our trainers are based in the highlands. However, here in Prague we have had little snow and little ice, thank goodness, all winter, and February was a dry month.
