Brittany Weather ... nightmare

So I think I've finally begun to really experience the true weather of Bretagne. So far there has only been one really bad day (today ... so pardon my "venting"), but I think I walked to class in a hurricane this afternoon. Since we are close to the Atlantic coast, we get a lot of the coastal weather ... which means it rains a lot. I can handle rain, but it's the rain & wind combination that is crazy! The wind actually broke a window in one of the door's in the school lobby this morning! While I was walking (about 20 minutes on foot) to the medical center where I teach, I actually caught myself thinking "Hmm, maybe February in Minneapolis wasn't that bad." But I don't think I'd go that far ... anyway, hopefully this will pass!
