Snow in Cabrera

Posted by admin in Blog on February 14th, 2010

Just returned from a snowball fight up in the mountains above Cabrera. Lots of lovely snow. Here’ s a few pictures.

All right, we’re not talking about the depths of the Scandinavian winter here, but it’s good fun.

Ironically enough, as somebody has just moodily emailed me to point out, this is the weekend that John Gaunt was paid to come here and tell everyone how lovely and warm Mojácar is in the winter.  Ah, it’ll be lovely tomorrow again. After all, last Saturday I almost got sun burnt out on the terrace.

Snow on Sierra Cabrera

Posted by admin in Blog on December 19th, 2009

As I peer out of my window, and as the clouds lift slightly, I can clearly see snow on the Sierra Cabrera!

Doubt it will last for long, but pretty to see – if it gets a little clearer will take some photos.

Snow on the mountains

Posted by admin in Blog on November 30th, 2009

Yesterdays rain appears to have a left a lovely smattering of snow on the Sierra Maria, visible from Turre and LG.

Lovely! Weather is currently a chilly 16ºC, but nice and warm if out of the wind. ‘Twas only 9ºC in Turre at 8am this morn.

Snow above 900m in Almeria – expected to drop to 700

Posted by admin in Blog on January 8th, 2009

We currently have heavy-ish snowfall above 900m in Almeria, according to a nice lady reporting live from Laujar de Andarax, above Albox. Snowfall overnight down to 700m, which is nice. Currently, I’m looking at some nasty clouds forming over the Cabreras and wondering if I’ll wake up to a white morning….

Here are some roads that are cutoff by snow:

AL 5402, in Bayarcal
AL 5405 in Escullar
AL3404 in Bahanes

are all impassable (under red warning) due to snowfall. Check your route to the protest tomorrow on the DGT website here.

Snow! Above 400m across the Peninsula

Posted by admin in Blog on January 8th, 2009

Snow is expected above an average of 400m across the Peninsula as an Artic gale blows in. The north coast and Barcelona have all seen snow on their beaches.

Winter lightning

Posted by admin in Blog on December 15th, 2008

While pootling along in the old five seater, I was witness to the most wonderful of sights.

The night sky is clear, and the stars are twinkling on a cold, frosty (5C in Turre, and it’s only 8pm) December night. Moonless, so we have a most wonderful tapestry of stars.

When suddenly I saw the most incredible burst of lightning behind the Sierra Cabreras. It is black, you cannot distinguish the mountain from the sky, only a few stars peek out from behind these majestic peaks. But, with every burst of lightning, the Cabreras are silhouetted against the darkness. It was so wonderful I had to stop for a few minutes to watch.

snow in granada snow in almeria

The A-92 is closed as it passes over the mountains into Granada. Snow chains and essential trips only, otherwise nice Mr Guardia will do his Amy Winehouse impersonation as he sends you away (I said no, no, no…)
