What a difference a day or day 1/2 makes...

  On Thursday afternoon, my friend Fatiha and I ate lunch at the port of Toulon overlooking the water. It was cold, sure, but the sun was shining and it was warm enough to enjoy a drink (or 2) and some food outside on the patio in the sunshine.

  Fast forward to Friday night....it started snowing....again. But not snowing like last time, really coming down good. Of course we were not prepared as we had planned to grill steaks ( which we still did), but by the time we went to bed, we were thinking we might have got 2-3 inches. I woke up early today to see if it had stuck, and what do you know, it sure did.

  I realize many of you would not consider this a lot of snow, but this is BIG news down here. My feeling about it is, if it is going to be this cold, we might as well have something to show for it (just as long as it doesn't stay this cold for too long).
