SNOW!

It’s been snowing since yesterday afternoon and the current temperature is ~30 degrees F. It is beautiful!



As in Seattle, some things grind to a halt when the white stuff appears. Our corner boulangerie received no deliveries so they had to purchase supplies for today from the Monoprix grocery store around the corner. My favorite C3 (electric bus) and all metro busses are out of service – luckily the underground metro and the trams continue to operate so some people can get around. Estelle is home today since one son’s school is closed, and it really isn’t safe for her to drive in to Lyon for work. And, you can see in the attached pictures that several cars haven’t been moved in a while.


The weather report says this weather will continue until Sunday when is warms up and starts raining. We’ll just have to enjoy it while it’s here. Here are some pictures I just took:
