paw862 Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Thank you Clair, I've learnt a new word today. Giboulee! These hailstones are huge. When is the summer going to arrive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hakunamatata Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Yes we've had them here too, the garden is a bog at the moment, but its lovely and warm when the rain stops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odile Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 in French we have 'pates de mars' (for great big snowflakes in the Spring) but in German they say 'Aprilwetter' (april weather) for the same. We had 2 hours of snow 3 days ago, after 2 weeks of warm, sunny weather - today lovely again - and black skies tonight! Until the last 'Saint de Glace' at the end of May, anything can happen - and not just in the Jura! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
