thanks, altitude

I live at roughly 36 degrees north latitude. That's farther south than the southernmost point of Spain; the 36th parallel crosses Algeria, Tunisia, and Pakistan, among other places.*

Today is the 28th of April.

It is snowing.



*Okay, it also crosses Tibet, which although twice as elevated as where I live, is probably more comparable. I bet it's snowing there, too.

It's not that I like hot weather. In fact I hate it. But I don't like snow either and felt the need to complain.

I don't mind snow too much in its proper season, though I do wish the city where I live (and where we do regularly get snow in the winter) was prepared to deal with snow. As it is, even the main roads are often not well plowed, and it can be dangerous.

ETA: Happy (belated) birthday! I hope you had a nice day.

I'm not sure how cities here which get occasional snow deal with it. Probably with horror. :-)

It was a great day, hot and sunny (like the summer we missed) and we had an excellent meal out at an Argentine/Italian restaurant. I'd go back just for their potato gnocchi in truffle oil with dukkah and roasted pumpkin, but they'll probably change their menu by the time I get back. I also had empanadas and sole with chili and garlic, and espresso mousse to finish - I like a dessert when I go out as I rarely have them.
