I&#8217;ve gotten a lot of enjoyment out of mine.  (Bill has managed to use his twice.  So far, that&#8217;s not a lot of bang for the buck&#8230; or Euro as the case may be.)  <\/p>\n<p>\tBut now I can read just enough French to be able to conjugate enough verb tenses to be able to read the long-term forecast on the web for Chamrousse.  Without using Google Translate.  And, well, I&#8217;d have been better off not being able to understand it.  Basically, it says we&#8217;ll enjoy warm, mild weather through the weekend.  And there&#8217;s a chance that the snow will return Wednesday.  But that&#8217;s days from now.  Let&#8217;s be honest.  Meteorologists are just guessing when they forecast past this evening.  <\/p>\n<p>\tKaitlyn is signed up for ski school all week.   They should be able to make snow&#8230; although only if it cools off.  It&#8217;s 12 degrees Celsius up there right now.  That&#8217;s about 54 degrees Fahrenheit.  (yes, yes, that I did calculate with Google.  Give me a break, I&#8217;m learning French do I have to learn to convert temperatures too?)  Too warm for February in the Alps  (Wow.  I just got smacked again with the realization that I live in the Alps  It&#8217;s just hard to complain about the weather when you look at it that way.  Not that I&#8217;m complaining.  I don&#8217;t like snow&#8230; except on the pistes where I ski.)<\/p>\n<p>\tWell, I&#8217;ll ski all week.  If Kaitlyn gets over this cold she&#8217;s gotten.  She was up at 4am&#8230; burning up and wide awake.  Who knew, fevers apparently make you alert?  She&#8217;s napping now.  If she&#8217;s too sick to go skiing&#8230;. it&#8217;s just another gamble we took with the mountain this year and lost.  At least all our losing gambles only involved money and no broken bones.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don&#8217;t want to say we picked the wrong year to buy season passes for Chamrousse.
