Coup de froid II

Last night in Paris there was chaos on the roads, as the snow that had been forecast for at least a week took everyone by surprise.   It snowed here overnight too, about 10cm or so, but the air warmed up during the day, and much of it has melted.  I took a short walk to see what was to be seen, but I missed the best of the snow.

The Camelias are a bit early, but the Crocus are right on time.

If the crow had stayed in the right place he'd have made a dramatic shilhouette.  The Aurochs was more co-operative.

Even the buildings benefit from being a bit spruced up.

Ordinary plant life looks a bit more colourful, and trees look like snow fountains.
