The Weather-brought White Stuff...

 And this was what the weather delivered between 10th and 12th of February... and so I thought;
if that is the amount fallen down here,
then what amount of lighter snow is there 'up there'?

 Here was the answer. An abstract view of a lot! Shapes against a French sky; 

deep and crisp

and even...

My son, wrapped against the cold, buttoned up and snow-skirted against 

the powdery white stuff that will find a way in;

strapped upon his snowboard, 

about to plunge down the slope, between the pines and through the

soft, soft snow.
