Yes, snow is pretty rare in Paris. I remember a couple of times when it snowed. One happened to be on a day I had to leave home early to take a train. It had snowed during the night, and there were no tire tracks yet. Everything was silent. It was cool. Of course the train was delayed by the snow
Another time was on a Sunday morning, so I ran to a beautiful big park (Parc Montsouris) that was near my apartment - they had closed it because of the snow!!!! So that nobody could get hurt and sue them, I suppose. Sometime it seems all the simple pleasures in life are going to be forbidden some day
