Believe it or not, this pic belongs here as it was taken on December 4.  32 minutes of sun so far this month (and about 3 hours over the past 11 days). Brilliant weather if you ask me.  This small tree to the right sums up Parisian winters pretty well: half fall with yellow leaves and half spring with flowers. These petals will wither quickly in the coming days.  |

Some suburban areas got a dusting of snow today. Quite the change in scenery there as there were still a lot of fall color only a week ago.  Extremely localized "industrial" snow every occurence I've seen:  Looked like fall one week ago.  The obligatory trachy-covered-in-snow pic.     No pétanque today  A couple kilometers down the road, there's nothing:  Gloomy château panorama  |

Some white stuff that looks like graupel on the ice today. Strange given nowhere was near the freezing point on last night's soundings.  |

December has been really cold so far. Most days have barely made it above freezing.   |

Tried to go for a walk at Savannas Preserve State Park after work today but all the trails were underwater. Certainly the most flooded I have seen it this year.  So I went to Haney Creek Park instead to search for a rare species of plant. I didn't find it, but it was still a nice walk through some scrub. Might want to skip these if plants don't interest you. Climbing aster (Ampelaster carolinianus)  Jeweled blue-eyed grass (Sisyrinchium xerophyllum). Not actually a grass.  Tracy's silkgrass (Pityopsis tracyi)...also not actually a grass.  Sand spike-moss (Selaginella arenicola)  Largeflower false rosemary (Conradina grandiflora)  Hairy jointweed (Polygonella ciliata)  Trail through the sand pines  Depression marsh between two sand ridges   Florida rosemary (Ceratiola ericoides)    |

Some minor hail damage from the Thursday storm (at my old place). Hail was apparently golf ball sized at some points, though these holes are smaller.   |
