Snow in Montpellier?! Oui, c'est vrai!

Let me just preface this by saying it never, I mean never snows in Montpellier. My host mom always told me how it is cold and rains in Montpellier, but it never really snows. I remember her specifically saying it hadn't snowed in years. Well, I guess there is a time for everything...snow made its way to Montpellier, and snow it did.

Here are some pictures from this glorious snow fall. I was actually heading out to dinner for my friends birthday when the snow storm decided to start. I walked into her apartment and said,
"it's not just little flurries, it's a snow storm."

Streets were covered. No one works on Sundays so the roads were not cleared until the next day.

It was a doozy walking home in this mess.


I'm definitely glad I got to witness this weirdness in weather. It's not something you see everyday; snow covered palm-trees especially
