No Warning for Snow in Jaén

Boy did Google let me down today. Rain it said. We got a heavy snowstorm while I was over at Casa El Regüelo showing an inspector around. One minute it was rain, then a few stray snowflakes then it fell. Big time. Huge flakes landed and settled in no time.

Jim our not very intelligent dog, stood out in it, licked it up and played with it. He hates rain, but with this he had no idea he was getting wet.

Still (hopefully) that´s our one day (actually more like two hours) of snow over for the winter.

Hmmm, What´s this stuff then?
