Snow day??

In 1999 Toronto called in the Canadian army to shovel snow. I put on some gloves and went to school.

In 2009, it snowed overnight in the Loire Valley. It resembled a mild case of dandruff. By 3 pm it had melted entirely. All school transport was immediately cancelled, firemen were on high alert and trucks refused to drive uphill.


Culture shock event #112.

  2. Yeah, I'm from near Chicago and I'm appalled at these French people -- it is 1/8" of snow! Get it together!
