Maintenant, j'ai envie de lire un autre de vos sujets. yendiMinterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05452215272543246319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-90307024279707804312008-01-12T19:25:00.000+01:002008-01-12T19:25:00.000+01:00What synchrony of thought...well, sort of.

Amazing how variable the weather is across a country the size of France, isn't it?<BR/><BR/>But then, it's pretty different just 100 miles from here too...given the change in altitude.<BR/><BR/>Meilleurs voeux!!blueVicarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08400247178245102554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-48198361652824798322008-01-12T16:21:00.000+01:002008-01-12T16:21:00.000+01:00Ken- Exactly what happened to us in the Yorkshire ...Ken- Exactly what happened to us in the Yorkshire Dales. We had asked the builder to give us a quote and the snow started falling. Saucer sized flakes! We wanted to make a run for it and he, as a local, wanted to keep us talking for hours!! Luckily, and I guess it is the same with you, the farmers keep the roads clear with their vehicles! Only a few weeks ago we were snowed in up there at the beginning of December but by next day it had become passable. Today is gloriously sunny back home in Sussex and the first snowdrops are out. Spring is on the way! Please check out Lakeland.co.uk for their car seat covers and give our love to Callie from our Scottie who hates the car as well!!

But I always consulted my old aunt who knew it in her bones...<BR/>Alas, I'm ageing now without her gift!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-43588049195976300402008-01-12T11:34:00.000+01:002008-01-12T11:34:00.000+01:00Hi Betty, I didn't find any climate data for Rodez...Hi Betty, I didn't find any climate data for Rodez on the site I referenced. But then I didn't find any for Marseille either. The sunniest town in France is Toulon, with 2899 annual hours of sunshine. Since Marseille is right next to Toulon, it must be similarly sunny.<BR/><BR/>Maybe there's some data for Rodez on a different site. Météo France, maybe.<BR/><BR/>Biarritz is up there with 1935 hours of sunshine, between Nantes and Clermont-Ferrand.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.com
