MAY 8, 2010 – THE DAY IT SNOWED IN BARCELONA

It never snows in Barcelona. I hear the last time it snowed was 25 years ago. So when we woke up on Monday, May 8 it was a drizzly day, so we set about our morning errands with umbrellas. It was so chilly I mentioned in passing to Mark, “if it drops another 3 degrees we’ll see snow,” never for a moment thinking this would actually happen. About 10 a.m the first flurries started falling. People everywhere looking up, in wonderment.

THIS IS A LITTLE MOVIE WE THREW TOGETHER WITH MY NEW VIDEO CAMERA.

Barcelona being hit with a huge snowstorm covering the streets and people with a blanket of white and bringing the kids out to play, some of whom have never seen the snow in their lives.
