Paris under the snow

February 23rd, 2005

Paris was under the snow today…
… that’s not really astonishing as a news line now, is it?

Well… maybe you don’t know that this city has not a single snow vehicle, nor any salt to prevent the snow from icing over, nor do they send out any maintenance people in the morning to make some pathways on the streets for people who should be so bold as to try to get to work in the morning…

400km of traffic jam from the peripheric to the center is all I am saying. :-D
Here… or here or here maybe… or here or then again (even made CNN, haha) and again HAHA!!! (The Rugby fans for the Six nations cup are grounded in Cardiff… Airports of Paris closed…)

I’m sorry, but this really makes me laugh… and I am sure it would have Krystin up in the Great White North laughing on the floor.
Er… hello? Weather control to the pompous French…? There is another load of the terrible alien white headed your way… What are you gonna do? Have a 10h week? This’ll be your end… muuuuaaaaahhhh….

Not even half of the students came into the seminar today. Lol… OK. Let’s get real. It did snow quite heavily. And it was about… well, 10cm. Pathetic… and this is supposed to be one of Europe’s center pieces of a new society? Hmm…

I had my enjoyable moment with the snow this morning at 7:30. I went out spend an hour to get all ’snowed up’… with the wind from the boulevards I was white when I got to my café at the corner to get some smokes. “Ah, Uh… vous êtes toute blanche…??!” the guy said… He hates snow, just like every one in this town. All I could manage was a “Alors… je me sens comme chez moi en Suisse…” – He looks at me appalled and timid, stating: “Ah… alors cela ne vous fait rien?”

Hahaha…

I’ll better stop laughing, because it’s possible that I have opened all windows and doors to that flu bug that has been bothering me for the last weeks…

Trying my best Penkala: “I am shakin’ so goddamn much…I feel like I’m dancin’.”
What a YYBWBOBTM moment… *sipping hot tea with lemon*
