It’s snowing

We woke to a smattering of snow this morning. When it snows here the roads get icy very quickly before the salt can be laid, but the vignerons don’t let it stop them, driving out in their tractors to work in the vineyards, they really do go out in all weathers. The temperature was around -2°c , so not super cold, but chilly enough.

By lunchtime it had started to snow again. I think the falling snow brings the sleepy winter garden to life, making it a magical winter wonderland.

By mid afternoon the snowflakes were definitely getting bigger, and heavier, and beginning to settle. We were glad to be in the warm of the house, peering out of the window up into the vineyards.

Between flurries, Brian snuck out to empty the post box. The road was well and truly covered now, and the forecast is for the temperatures to drop, getting down to -7°c, so I don’t think we will be venturing too far for the next few days.

However, we did need to drop a cheque off at the Mairie’s, so Brian headed out all dressed up for the weather.
