Snow in Barcelona – March 8, 2010!

nieve en barcelona 2010

Who would have ever believed this was possible? Snow in March in Barcelona. The last time the city saw a big snowfall was during the winter of 1962. If it continues snowing like it is right now, it will become the notorious snowfall of 2010! The city looks beautiful enveloped in a white blanket and there seems to be less noise.

I hope it lasts! I much prefer the snow to the never-ending rain. I know that some people will think that this is no big deal compared to winters in Russia, USA or Canada, to name just a few, but this just does not happen here. A tired city transforms into a winter wonderland!

    I have to admit that I don’t know. Maybe they don’t want to get snow in their cars? Cab drivers are always doing strange things.
    It seems to be a world-wide phenomenon.

    Isn’t it amazing! All my neighbors are taking pictures out of their windows and the street is full of people with their cameras and no cars at all…

    I can imagine that snow is normal in Bucharest! It was really cold this morning, started raining and quickly became snow. It’s stopped for the moment.
