It's snowing in Marseille today!

For starters, you should know that it never snows in Marseille.

I went out this morning. That's our street above. And besides the 12 centimeters of snow everywhere and the thick snow flakes falling, I was surprised by the lack of noise. I've posted my impressions about the noise in Marseille before, today was the exact opposite of the ordinary day. It's so quiet. In our street, we can only hear the kids excitement. Cars don't venture in any street with the slightest slope which is the case in most streets above the old harbor. I just heard that the airport has shut down, buses and trains are all stopped in the area as well. 

 Snowmen are being built...

Everybody seem to be on their cell phones to share their excitment. A lot of them also did the same as me. Many of us converged near the Old Harbor. Most of them have given up going to work. They're just taking it all in. 

And just like me, they're taking pictures to remember Marseille under the snow.
