Snow in the City

Advertisements

It was snowing in the skies above Barcelona yesterday! And fell as ice pellets or USA sleet (sleet in the UK is a mix of rain and snow). The last time it snowed in Barcelona was I think in February or March 2010. It turned into slush before the day was out. I had to walk nearly half the city back as the metro came to a standstill. My feet froze walking back to my bike, then my hands froze to the handlebars pushing it back!

Thankfully yesterday it had stopped by the time I left to cycle in. I thought it had all melted so you can imagine my surprise and big dopey grin when I saw the beaches had a light dusting of snow ice. One of the few places where it hadn’t melted. Even a few TV vans were out! Sunny skies returned today but for one afternoon the beaches were a little piece of Winter Wonderland.

When it’s normally this cold or rainy weather most people stay indoors away from the beaches. But you know, photo ops…

Does it usually snow where you are?
