This has been a white winter. Unlike the previous winters we've experienced in France, the ground has been blanketed in white with only brief thaws between snow covers. Typically, we get only a few snowfalls that melt by noontime. Skiing has been amazing this season, running has been a fun challenge, and I've gotten lots of use from my snowshoes - today included. Nearly a foot of snow has accumulated since last night, so this afternoon, I went for a long (blister inducing) trudge, ending at Cern to catch a ride home at the end of the day. Surprisingly, some routes non déneigée had been plowed, but walking on pavement provided a few welcome breaks from the heavy snow.
P.S. It's still falling!
