End of winter

Although I was warned about the snow and the cold, my first winter in the Midwest was not a difficult one. The only snow we had was what you see on the picture, and it only stayed for a couple days. It did get to 5-10F (-15/-13°C) (which rarely happens in France) but not for long periods of time. In contrast, I missed the extremely and unusually cold winter in Europe, it got to -20°C (-4F!) in Strasbourg, something I have never experienced myself there!
