toni Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 I have just heard from a contact in France that there was a snowfall for the first time (apparently) in 50 years to the west of Narbonne. Has anybody any further info? Has it all cleared at this stage? What areas were affected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mpprh Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Hi Yes it is true, they had snow over there a while ago. Don't believe the "1st in 50 years" stuff ! Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judith Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Yes, there was about 6" one Saturday at end Jan, but rain next day cleared it. Then just for a change we had our second flood since we arrived in Oct. However this winter has been strange, not just in France, but also in England - so cannot make any pattern out of it. They have certainly had snow in the Narbonne region before, a French woman I sat next to on the trip over at Christmas spoke about making snowmen - but there wasn't really enough snow for that she said. So I guess it is unusual but not unknown - a bit like snow in London I suspect - rare, but not unknown.All the locals say the current weather is atypical - but how much credence you put on that, well, I think I'll wait to see what a few more winters bring .....
