Looks like everyone is getting snow. Some of the white stuff even fell this morning in Cannes, even though it very transient.
Awesome stuff. Love seeing cold air beginning to pool at dusk, though at your latitude it probably never leaves the valley bottoms in early winter.
Less wintry here yesterday, the only wintry thing was the dew point, in the -10/-15°C range (around 10°F).
Nice houses there
Kerylos villa in Beaulieu, facing the sea
Plane landing in Nice
nice clear blue sky, looks wintry. Sun must be weak up there, even lower sun angle than here. Don't see any deciduous in your photos. Green is a nice break from the drab here.
The sun feels a tad stronger than at Paris' latitude, but the main difference is in cloudiness. You just have the long overcast with low clouds periods that you get away from the Mediterranean in Europe. I'm just back from central Europe and the brightness smashes you in the face as soon as you get out of the unbroken cloud layer.
Last weekend was such a period in Nice, but it cleared as soon as it stopped raining. Around noon, temps in the 30s.
Pretty cold for the area, the record low high being -1.8°C in Nice, under strong precipitation (couldn't be that cold in the day with sun).

Somehow snow on pebble beaches feels unnatural to me. Most beaches over here are pebbles beaches, and you sure won't see them covered with snow all that often!
Pics from a plane earlier this week. Nice:
Monaco:
The western Po plain in Italy is covered with snow:
This December has been incredibly snowy in here, actually the most snowy December I can remember of.
Let's start with the pictures of the 1st and 2nd of December
One week after, the 8th of December, the view was like this:
The evening of the 9th it started to snow again, and it went on until Monday evening. For this I have less pictures, but it snowed even more than the previous time!
^ these pictures where taken more or less in the middle of the snowfall, the peak dept was close to 40-50 cm!
And today the view is still like this:
Summarising:
More than 50 cm of snow fallen in less than one month
17 consecutive days of snow on the ground
The both of these data are really remarkable in comparison with the average winter here at my place, in the last few years we didn't get as much even during the whole winter.

The "modern" city is typically French, with architecture reminiscent of most other French cities, but the old city has an Italian flair to it, with more colorful buildings and loads of renaissance palaces:
