If you want snow this year best get off to Tenerife where about a foot
of anow fell at Izaña Observatory, 2000m, with a temp of -3°C. Crazy
weather...



It snowed one year when I was on holiday there. We drove up the mountain
hoping to get to the top of the volcano but the ski lift was closed because
of ice. The snow line was about 1800m that day. It was 20C at sea level.
