Let it snow

Alright, so this wouldn't be news if I was in Canada. But it "snowed" last week in Marseille. Actually it was more like sleet and hail but the end result was white stuff on the ground for at least a half hour (before the sun melted it). Picture worthy, I thought. Both are taken from my balconies. Enjoy! I hear the last time it "really" snowed in Marseille was about 10 years ago. A few centimeters stopped traffic, causing people to abondon their vehicles (even city buses) and the city was at a stand still for 24 hours, until the snow was cleared and/or melted.
Ironcially, I'm missing one of the most mild winters on record back home, with little snow and few cold snaps. Humph! Not fair!
