On February 7th we woke up to what we thought was a snowy landscape but it turned out to be frost, which quickly disappeared when the sun came out. But on night of the 25th we got the real thing.
 

This is only the second time we've had snow since we moved to Galicia in 1997. It's pretty enough, I suppose, and it melts away quickly, but we'd prefer a white Christmas to a white January or February.
