I confirm, there was 5 inches of snow in Paris and surroundings and general panic, as if at 49° N Lat it was tropical country...my fellow frogs are utterly ridiculous!wonder on which Planet they live...

This should be short lived though, next week appears to be typical west coast mild cloudy weather.

I'm surprised it was still open to begin with, with the pandemic and absence of tourists...
