Snow in Quesada

Today is the 7th anniversary of seeing snow in Quesada for many years. On the 17th January 2017 we woke up to a smattering of snow in the garden as seen in the photo attached. I had to go into town early that morning and it had an almost carnival atmosphere with all the Spanish workers outside taking selfies in the flurries. Here we are today, seven years later, with a forecast of 24 degrees! Amazing!

I remember that day, and was in Mercadona shopping, got to the tills, and no staff, as you say all outside taking pictures.

Ditto at Gamas in Doña Pepa, and no wonder because it was the first snow in this area for over 90 years.

Thank you Philip for reminding us of the date, just where has that 7 years gone.

What a difference a day make,a wonderful surprise if you like that sort of thing, sun is much nicer

I was at Campoamor golf hotel having a meal with my missus, we sat in the window for coffee and I said, d’you know I’m sure it’s going to snow and sure enough as we drove home via San Miguel it started coming down quite heavily. As said, many people videoing. Next day we went up to the Jalon Valley and came home over the mountains via Polop. There was a lot of snow there and many Spanish were driving along with mini snowmen that they had built on the bonnet of their cars, scarves, hats, the lot.

Sorry to disagree but we had snow & had to scrape ice off the car in the early 2000's can't remember the exact year but that was near the golf course in Quesada ( La Marquesa)

We were in Guardamar locals were out taking photos on the beach.

I think that seeing no snow here in 15 plus years does actually make first snow in many years' !

Maybe so, but the post says "the first snow in this area for over 90 years" that is what i am disagreeing with.

Be thankful it’s only a nice memory. We’ve had snow here for 3 days. Countryside looks beautiful but it’s very cold. We have a mass public services strike on in NI on the coldest day and sadly, they are wasting their time. I wish they go home and get warmed up. Politicians leave a lot to be desired.
It’s -8 degrees in Glasgow but too cold for snow. Get your deck chairs ready and relax in the sun and think of all the poor people that can’t afford to heat their homes. An awful situation to be in.
