Cold wave!


After an amazing period of mildness, winter has finally decided to come! Europe is currently experiencing a massive cold wave which includes France, of course. We had -6° (21.2° F) this morning and forecasts show that it's going to be worse towards the end of the week (-11° C - 12.2° F)! (See more here). Wearing these warm "space" boots was definitely a good idea! FYI, there should not be any snow in Paris though... Too bad ;-(

  2. OMG Eric - 21 degrees and 12 degrees F is fuh-reezing! Do bundle up and stay warm!

    Oprah Winfrey had a strikingly similar pair of gold sequined Ugg boots like these on her Christmas list of favorite things a couple years back. I toyed with the idea of ordering a pair, but they were too much for me :)

  4. This winter weather season is really strange. Today in Connecticut it was sunny and in the 60s. Paris is having snuggle up weather, where are those furry animals from yesterday's PDP? lol

  6. Mr. PHX, had to buy a pair of gloves, finally, to cope with the weather in Paris. He even stayed in our apt all day today,a rarity, and per instructions from me, went out only to buy me a Figaro(Figaroscope comes in the Wednesday edition and it is full of things to do for the week). This is a great tip for future travelers to Paris.
    As much as I love CDG, I told him I would rather work to Paris in Feb. than to live there. Dark at 4pm, cold,rainy and dreary, but these boots certainly can brighten things up!

  13. Sorry if I sounded snarly, mes amis. Listen: -11 C is cold for anyone. I hate that kind of cold. Right now (Thurs morning) it's just about 0 C, so not too bad.

    I do think the photo is fun.

  19. So I am from Minnesota...coming to Paris in two weeks. Thought for sure my leather coat would suffice....now am thinking about something warmer. BTW...was put on to this site by Jeff from Minnie...I am enjoying it every day. I did not know how to sign up...so did it under anonymous...what's the best way to sign up.

  20. Want to feel warm?

    How about visiting my little South American birth country?

    A few days ago it was 47C in the shade...

    That´s why people here don´t like warm weather, myself included...
