moderate 'bise'

the 'bise' is the local wind we have. when it blows, it's generally cold and tempestuous. last week, it started blowing a bit, and for the weekend, they kept saying 'moderate bise today', but there was nothing moderate about it! it was very, very strong. so much so that there were loads of waves on the lake, with lots of foam on each peak. it was quite a sight. gorgeous. and the water was clear blue - it looked like we were on some island. i wished i had my camera on me...
