Snow Day, Yay!

As i drove down the highway this morning, my business meeting in Paris was cancelled due to massive gridlock as the city got snowed in.

Another Shameless Plug on the Mirror Project...

Now, before you Yankees out there get this mental image of a foot of snow in the City of Lights, take a good look at the picture above, taken as the call reached me. Now granted, there's probably a little more snow in Paris for the gridlock to reach 400km in total (250 miles), but I've seen the city leave the key under the doormat over about two inches of snow, a few years ago. They're just not used to snow.

This is a snowed-in car, Paris-style.

Personally, i'm psyked, cuz I just miss the snow, and cuz next week, I'll be in the Southern Hemisphere in balmy 30°C summer weather...I just hope there's not too much of the white stuff tomorrow as I drive down to Albi, and over the weekend during the move... Careful what you wish for :) Location : Beauvais, France.

NB : Gecher Asuncion PostCards whilder hot! About half a dozen left!

UPDATE : Grrrrreat pictures from Jason live in Paris, where you can see that 2" was a good estimate. Go see them, and blogroll Jason if you haven't done so already. He rocks!
