Bonjour, la neige !

Remember at the beginning of the month 

when I said it was way too mild here

to believe December had arrived 

& that Christmas was just around the corner?

Well... most of last week,

 it was horribly cold, rainy & windy in Annecy.

Ugh.

Even though I'm from Vancouver

{on Canada's "Wet Coast"},

that kind of weather makes me want to stay on the couch all day.

But you know what?

Whenever I needed to go out over the past few days,

I bundled up,

pulled on my gumboots

& tried {sans succès} 

to use my umbrella to avoid getting soaked.

{That didn't work, of course...}

So...

I kept reminding myself how

nasty weather en ville

= 

snow snow snow en montagne.

And I was right!

Please behold the proof in these photos taken from my balcony!
{Now that it's stopped pouring, we can enjoy our view again, yay!}

C'est trop beau, non ??!
