Here is my little photo report about yesterday's heavy snow in Paris. Most of it melted this morning, but now it is snowing again, so who knows?

Wonderful photos! Paris is having more snow than here in DC.
I always enjoy your photos kerouac! Thanks so much. Enjoy the cold. You really can see so much more structure without all those pesky leaves in the way
Beautiful photos.
But I wasn't planning on taking boots Friday!
Very, very nice.
Ah, kerouac, yet another treat for the eyes and imagination... merci bien!
Thank you for my walk in Montmarte this morning...
Wonderful pictures.
Kerouac, merci, merci. Just reading about snow in UK too. You never miss an oportunity to show us yet another beautiful side of Paris...
Very pretty pictures.
Don't know about "heavy snow" in Paris - what was it - about 4 inches. (For us "heavy" would be 18" and up).
Indeed -- it was just 4 or 5 inches at the most, which is about 4 or 5 inches more than we normally get. Today was black slush day (not photogenic in the least). Right now it is snowing again (as it has been for the last 3 hours), but the temperature has not yet dropped below freezing, so there is no new snow report in the works yet.
Love the cat on the statue, and the fact that the artists were still out there with umbrellas over their easels.
All the pix are fabulous--but I especially love the ones with the cat.
Merci, Kerouac! What a lovely trip to Paris you gave us. I've been lucky enough to have enjoyed Paris in the snow and it is quite magical.
Thanks Kerouac, great report!
Great pictures, kerouac. Thanks for sharing them.

Shhhhhh, stop showing everyone how lovely Montmartre is.
Kerouac, these pictures are magical! Can you tell me what kind of camera you use as all your past and present pictures are fantastic!
Great shots. It's snowing here right now in Massachusetts, but it's not so magical.
Really gorgeous.
beautiful!
LuLu, I just use a Lumix pocket camera.
Wow what a treat - great photographer and uncanny ability to show Paris in different nuances.
thanks a lot! Makes me feel like I' trekking up to Montmartre.
Wonderful, Kerouac! Thank you.
Take it easy on the Velibs.
Kerouac, thanks so much for the great pix. If we can't be in Paris, it's always wonderful to have a visual enjoyment!
As much as I passionately hate snow, I must love Montmartre more because it really does look lovely.
I realize it was Sunday morning, and Parisians can be slow to rise, but some of those pictures totally depict the "village" feel I like so much about that area.
Thank you! (she says while her space heater in a modern office building is on full blast today).
Merci!
Actually, YankyGal, I thought an enormous number of people were out compared to a normal Sunday morning. Usually at that time of day there would have only been a few Japanese wandering around, maybe some Brazilians too. But that morning, most of the people I saw were Parisians who flocked there to appreciate the snow.
Quite a few of them had the old urban standby for their children, when nobody in a city owns a sled -- they brought big black garbage bags with them to slide down the slopes.
