Hi Booklady and all others soon on their way to the promised land

The weather is in fact what CNN has reported but yesterday and the day before we were hit with a thick "niebla" ("fog") here in Madrid which has burned off by now and today it is about 11�C (52�F) and not a cloud in the sky. My being from NY this is a veritable heat wave and the cold here is not a wet cold and humidity is low.

16 days, very cool You must be PSYCHED!

Snow? Only if you go to the Sierra outside of Madrid. They have been getting good amounts of the fluffy stuff but here in the city it hardly ever snows. In fact, in the last 5 years the only snowfall was last year when we got a 10 minute snow dusting and nothing stuck at all

Snow is one of the things I miss inthe city since I was used to big snowfals in NY. In fact, I shot a brief video clip of the last pathetic flurry here and you can see it by clicking the link below:

Enjoy and look closely, you can see the very light flurry.

Woops! Correction... It is Tuesday at 1am (Dec.4th) and you can cut the fog with a knife...



... almost looks like a snow flurry huh?

It is really creepy out there

p.s. The thick fog also makes the halos around the lights in the camera shot more blurry.

Hey all, well, we have been surprised this year with a nice day of snowfall in the city of Madrid this December 23rd (almost a white xmas ). It is still sonwing and I am posting a few photos below. The big deal is that although nothing in really sticking, it has not snowed like this in the city in almost 5 years (I think?).
