Its a snowin here

Nice lovely flakes coming down. Mt. Ventoux is not visible.





Not sure if it will stick, but anyone heading this direction best bring a heavy coat !





:)

I spent some time in Provence before I realised that Mont Ventoux isn%26#39;t permanently snow-capped! Any likelihood of skiing?




|||



Not yet on the skiing, but there is most defnitely skiing at the top of Ventoux - as long as we get enough snow. It is just a T-bar lift and I hate those, but lots of folks go.





And many people think the rocky / sandy top of Mt. Ventoux is snow.





It is now!

When I said %26quot;not yet%26quot; I meant not yet this winter...




|||



Wow Toutou, because you are on the Avignon forum I thought you meant it was snowing there!




|||



good morning



My family reported snow in cavaillon ...



Winter has arrived . Summer was just there a few days ago with lunch on the terrasse.





meherio

Chic - we are only 30 minutes from Avignon, so I put the post there. I guess I should have put it in the Provence forum - but that seemed too large an area to note snow in this particular spot. Oh well.





If it snowed in Cavaillon too, Avignon probably got some flurries also.





It didn%26#39;t stick. But it was pretty and it was/is darned cold.




|||



and sounds so strange to hear it is snowing, with as hot as it was during our hols in June this past summer.





Did it come with a mistral?




|||



100 km winds - bitter..





The winds have calmed now and the snow did not stick. There were flurries in Avignon too, even in Marseille.





This morning, I woke to solid white frozen ground. Thick frost. Tis cold !!




|||



There were flurries in Toulon as well.




|||



Looks like a cold winter.





Tho the chaine meteo calls for 14 and 15 C on Monday and Tuesday.. I do hope that happens ..





For anyone thinking it doesn%26#39;t get cold in Provence, IT DOES !!!
