Too Much Snow to Ski?!

Our new Peugeot 7-seater

How's that for irony... we had to postpone our first planned trek to Crozet for some downhill skiing because there's too much snow.  It snowed all night and the roads are not yet plowed (I'm guessing it's like back home...the plows wait until it stops before hitting the streets). Our shiny new cars have everything except snow chains, a necessity for travel in or near the mountains.

Snow day in Divonne.  The view from 218 Rue Voltaire. 

So it's a great day for blogging and maybe some schooling for the children. Canadian History for Eva and Toby, a bit of math or science for the young ones. There's another perfect bit of irony - kids doing school work on a snow day!  [yes, I'm smiling here]

Time to head out (on foot) to pick up some essentials for dinner tonight...bread, cheese, wine. Speaking of which, my next entry has to be dedicated to the gastronomic delights of France... magnifique!
