Outside of Paris about 10 days ago, my sister-in-law was stuck on the highway for eight hours during her trip home from work, which usually takes about 20 minutes.  This is because 5 inches (approximately 12 cm) of snow fell from the sky.  The country was paralyzed.

Eat your hearts out, Frenchies!  We are happy to report that we have about 19 inches (50 cm) of snow on our deck and about 24 inches (60 cm) of snow in our front yard.  Now that’s a snowstorm, if I do say so myself.
