Sunshine and melting snow?

The abnormally warm weather in Lyon has continued most of this week, though the sun only really reappeared yesterday. It's forecast to continue most of the holiday weekend too, which is mildly concerning as we're off up into the mountains for a couple of days. Fortunately, this winter has been one of the best ever in terms of snow, so there should still be some left when we get there...

Meanwhile, the city is quiet as people head off for their Easter holidays. Elsewhere, today sees the appearance of the 20000th edition of L'Equipe. A daily sports newspaper with high quality journalism is something sadly lacking in Blighty.
