Let it Snow!!!

The remains of an afternoon snowfall in Asnieres...on the green grass.

Although some claimed to have seen snow fluries in the air a few weeks ago, today was the first day I could actually tell it was snowing and not raining here in Asnieres. As one of my students put it "It's so cold outside today". Translated to degrees celcius and the temperature was about plus 1. I know, not quite the frigid winter days of Alberta, but to the everyday Parisien, it was cold.

Getting back to the snow, it fell in big wet flakes for maybe about an hour this afternoon. More annoying then beautiful as the only thing that was accomplished was the complete soaking of everything outdoors. The only places where it lasted more then a second was on the grass or on parked cars. And that was the first snowy day in Paris!
