When we moved to the Pyrenees all the locals told us it doesn't snow any more at this altitude because of global warming. Thankfully global warming isn't a real thing and it has snowed every winter for the last three, each year a bit earlier and with a bit more snow.
It is the same story in Spain right now. Unprecedented snowfall when no one expected it. Except for all those pesky conspiracy theorists who believe the world is on a cooling trend ;)
It was interesting to observe how our entire village was incapacitated without adequate salt or distribution methods last week. All the cars were sliding around without snow chains and couldn't go anywhere for two days while they figured out how to de-ice all the roads. Obviously no one has snow chains any more due to their belief they will never see snow again.
Bless 'em.
I will be ready to sell them snow chains next year :)
Love & Light everyone 🌱
