I've just crossed the Sint Gotthardtunnel without problems. In Ticino (the Italian side of Swiss), it was cold but clear and there was no snow, on the other side there was snow and it was wet, but less cold luckily.
I stopped after I crossed the tunnel to take some photo's while the Police stopped next to me. First asking me if I was lost, then finding out I did not have a Vignet.
I did not need one because I'm not driving on the Autobahn, and tought I could pay the toll charges for the tunnel at the end of the tunnel (I read this somewhere on wikipedia!) But that's not true. I could buy a vignet without extra charge from the police guys who were very nice by the way. But still a pity because I paid 40 CHF for the vignet and only used it for crossing the tunnel! However it has the validity of a year so I can come back in 2015
And well, I needed a sticker of Switzerland anyway for my collection
On my way to Germany now!
