From Sunny Madrid to...Snowy Lyon?

So I arrived back from Madrid a few hours ago. It was really fun...really tiring, but I can't believe how well I ate all weekend, and for how little! Ok, well I did spend probably about 60-70€ on food, but given it was throughout 3 days and 3 nights, so I think it was pretty reasonable.

BUT! The cool part of the story is kind of 2 opposites. First, it was SUPER warm and BEAUTIFUL in Madrid! Like, 15-16°C, which is in the 50s Fahrenheit...which sounds pretty damn cold, but believe me, it was warm compared to everywhere else in Europe right now! The sun was great.

However, when I returned to Lyon today, the weather forecast said the high was something like 4°C...which is more like high 30s Fahrenheit. Uh oh. We landed in the airport and saw snow on the mountains...Then, when my shuttle arrived in town, I saw SNOWFLAKES flying through the air! Given, they barely made it 10 feet from the ground before they melted and turned into rain droplets, but wow! Is it still like 80°F all over California? Because I'm loving this real winter weather. Although I wish that it would just snow all the way if it's going to be this darn cold.

It sounds like it's raining outside now, and its about 3° outside...Keep in mind that freezing is 0°, which it's actually supposed to reach as a low temp for tomorrow. Wow!! Wish me luck getting to class without freezing my bum off! (if it actually snows, I heard that the buses don't come up to my neighborhood since it's on the other side of a really steep hill...can anyone say SNOW DAY?)

Pictures will come soon!
