First Snow!


We're only at the end of November and it's already snowing! Very rare in Paris, but very nice. I just love it!

  1. I agree with Aran! And stay warm and covered up; we don't want you catching a cold!

  2. Eric - We got at least 3 to 4 inches of snow here in Western PA since Wednesday night. The temperature is supposed to go up to about 55 degrees Farenheit by tomorrow, though. The snow was very beautiful, and it's OK with me if I do not have to go out and drive in it.

  3. Jonae : usually, there is very few snow in Paris. Sometimes at the end of december or begenning of january but that's all. Most of the time, you have to go in french mountains (alpes, pyrénées, jura, vosges, massif central) to get some "real" snow during winter.
    And, to agree with Elisabeth, there is not a lot of fun having snow in Paris, especially when you have to drive your car...

  6. Oh well done on this one! You caught her at just the right time, as she prepares to cross the street, there but only just, turned away, and the hat, the snow, the shops, the bike - it's all there.

  7. Thanks everybody! I must say I love it too. And though I took it with a very bad camera - a small one that I carry with me all the time "just in case".

    To answer your questions, Julia, here is the technical details I could find: speed 1/32s, focal length: 12 mm - f/4.2, Iso:100.

    Don't know if it helps!

  12. is penicillium mold toxic http://moldnhouse.com/cleaning-mold.html
    As the tightness of our homes has increased in response to a desire to conserve energy, the unintended consequence has been the trapping of moisture. The increase in moisture in our homes has in some cases resulted in a relative humidity above the 60% level needed to sustain mold growth in interior spaces. In some cases, the moisture level of the interior spaces is below the mold growth threshold, but the exterior wall cavities retain the required moisture level for rapid mold growth within the walls. To make matters worse, this condition is also perfect for accelerated wood rot and termite infestation.
