Two o'clock in the afternoon on a November day. The sun is there, but just. No sign of rain although the air is damp and chill. I admit that it's pretty in its way but winter in Paris can still get me down.

Stray thoughts from 1 of the 50,000
About Me
For a long time, we were just another typical Washington, DC family: two policy-oriented jobs, two kids, and two cars. Out of the blue, my husband got a new assignment; we ditched the old jobs and the cars (but kept the kids) and headed to Paris for what started out to be a three-year, and eventually became a four-year tour.

It's my first winter here and I've been wondering how this Californian will react. So far it's not bad, but I'm rather dreading January.

oh boy, yes - i know just how you feel...
I totally was not prepared for the rain and grey skies that passes for fall, and I'm not looking forward to winter without central heating. Silly cold stone houses. ;) But, I am still psyched that there will NOT be snow, OR negative temperatures on the thermometer!! (Silver linings, right?)
Looks a lot like November in Toronto! With the exception of our last week. Still, you are in Paris.
Paris is probably the most beautiful city in the world, but it's not a place to be in the winter.
