We've got SNOW
Yesterday afternoon it was very cold and it started raining; Rob and Olivier were both soaked when they arrived home. Around eight-thirty, Rob suggested our usual evening stroll around the block so I sent him to check it wasn’t raining. It was snowing!!! We went for our walk around the block though a shorter route than usual and yes we got soaked.

This morning there was a lot of snow on the ground and it had frozen over. Rob went to work on the bus instead of his bike and Olivier went off to lycée praying the buses were cancelled (not logical as Rob had already taken an earlier bus). Apparently the traffic is moving very slowly. I haven’t even gone out to collect the post, it probably won’t have arrived yet.

As the sun started to rise , it was really beautiful. The frozen snow on the branches of the trees sparkled in the pinky, yellowish light. It won’t last for long I’m sure, but at least we’ve had a little bit.
