Snow...

Last Sunday it snowed in my hometown! For those of you who are saying "So what, it's Winter, normally it snows!" True but the last time it snowed in Rio Maior was about 20 years ago and it only lasted a couple of hours. With this intensity it has been more than 50 years ago and if you take into account that to see some snow Portuguese have to go to our highest mountain (called Serra da Estrela) or up north near our frontier with Spain, you can start to understand why so many Portuguese acted as little kids and went out to the streets in their PJ's and play with the first flocks or phone nearly everyone they knew (something I'm sure our telecommunications companies thanked a lot as I imagine Sunday mornings must be slow and uninteresting for the point of view of profits ;)

So here goes some photos...
