White Exec and the white stuff?

Post by raynoon » Mon Jan 23, 2017 7:34 am

Hey Chris, after hearing reports that Mallorca and the Costa Blanca were covered with snow I'm just wondering if you saw any of the white stuff? How's the weather been just outside Malaga?

Hi Ray, Not exactly beaches 'covered' in snow, but snow fell lightly here (Costa del Sol) for a couple of hours on Wednesday last week. Didn't settle, and came down as a flurry of very cold sleet. Heavier falls inland. On the coast, we would not expect to see snowfall at all.

Overnight temperatures here at home (4km inland) went down to +3C overnight. Oddly, the day before it snowed, daytime temp was 22C!

I guess it's all my fault: I renewed the antifreeze-coolant in the 2.5 on Monday, last done a couple of years ago. Don't tell anyone.

PS I got a bit of a shock when I saw this new thread title this morning. There's not a word of truth in it.

I guess you were lucky to miss the worst of it, stil... from +22c to sleet showers in a 24 hour period must have been a shock to the system!
