Weather

We've got snow here . . . so the Metro has stopped running, bad parkers block the snowploughs, all the cars without winter tyres then spin and slide and block the buses coming up the hill.

What fun!

I am surprised cars without winter tyres are allowed. They aren't in Germany nor in this part of France.

I was surprised too - but I am told insurance companies will hold drivers without winter tyres responsible for accidents.

We woke up to more snow this morning - 'tis bleddy freezing now. Still it'll soon be sping.

Cold wet and windy here, just above freezing. Several bouts of hail which has stayed, but no snow.

Snow on and off most of the day from mid-morning.

Still not much on the ground but I have brought the 4x4 out of storage - just in case.

Only had to use the 4x4 in anger once here in France in the late 2000s we had 200mm of snow for a few weeks, I was scraping it off the awning roof every morning But we do a bit of green laneing so it keeps all the transmission oiled.

Snowed in Bordeaux yesterday, but not here, near Brive. I don't think anything stuck to the ground over there, but not sure.

Tis chilly though.

We have the workers here fitting out the attic now and the doors are constantly being opened and shut, so we must stay bundled up.

Bloody cold here today.
