Update

The blizzard continues, the snow deepens (over 50cms so far), ...the power is on and off and trees all around us continue to buckle and break under the weight of the snow. Trees and branches are strewn across our little road, effectively imprisoning us here until the snow stops enough to allow some clearance with the chainsaw.I just wonder how much more there is to come .....?

C'est vraiment exceptionnel, Anne. Il va continuer à neiger jusqu'à jeudi apparement :-( Le potager n'est pas du tout content!

Wow! That's amazing! Has all of that fallen in just 1 day?
To think I was complaining about the rain & wind in Lyon...

Piglet - yes, it started shortly before dawn and hasn't stopped! I need to somehow dig my way through the avalanche that has fallen from the roof in order to reach the woodshed. It's bonkers!

Isn't spring lovely? ;-) Bon courage!

Thanks Nicole! To think we were basking in temperatures of 30+ degrees just 5 days ago!! Come back Spring, all is forgiven.

C'est de la folie! And that's not just a sprinkling either!

It's over me wellies! Think I will have to get the raquettes out at this rate.

I don't understand your climate Penny ... one minute you're planting out chillies and the next it's a blizzard.

Makes Finistère seem a bit tame.
