Weathering the winter

17/02/2009 by Ellen Wallace

Etoy, Vaud: snowy fields, orchards and A1 autoroute

Lake Geneva region (GenevaLunch) – It was hard to avoid the weather 17 February in the region: either you were out in it or everyone mentioned it, or both.

The media covered it: Le Temps, Tribune de Geneve, TSR, 20 Heures.

Snow, accidents, and slippery roads until daytime Wednesday 18 February, when the sun is expected to shine, with temperatures just above 0C: that sums it up.

Which came first, the skid marks or the sign?

Ed. note, French lesson: if you’ve read the articles in our links you’ll have seen the term tôles froissées several times. It does not mean fried rooftops or cold tolls. Translation: Minor accidents or fender benders.
