Le Grand Froid

We arrived in Paris just in time for the Great Cold "Le Grand Froid". Although it's only around -3 Celcius it feels a lot colder, maybe I'm just not used to the cold or maybe it's the humidity level, either way it's really cold and tough to enjoy walks through Paris for more than an hour. But I did end up getting a really nice French sweater (or "Pull" as it's called here) to keep me warm, and it was only 15 Euro!

Last weekend it even snowed a little bit and the Canal St. Martin partially froze, which was actually kinda cool to see. We can't wait for it to warm up a bit, especially since the electrical grid in France is being pushed to the limit so we end up turning down our electric heaters in the evening for a few hours to reduce the strain on the country.
