CascadaduSel ... I just took a walk to Retiro Park .. It's breathtakingly beautiful !!! And yes I have photos which i'll post . This is NOT just a sprinkling of snow here ! It's been snowing since one o'clock this morning ( when I arrived home ) . LOt's of snowmen being built in the park . 1,205 flights have been cancelled from Barajas ( Madrid ) and 2 motorways closed down . Praise , I think , should be given to the guys that control Metro de Madrid ( The underground train service ) .. They had salted the entrances and exits to the metro stations well before midnight last night . THose stairways can be lethal at the best of times , so good job Metro de Madrid !! Steve
I just got back from downtown Madrid too. Beautiful snow!!!! FINALLY!!!!
Will post pictures later today, must take a post-lunch nap :sleep: now since I only slept about 3.5 house last night, staying up 'til 6:30am watching the USA BCS NCAA Championship football game. I'll also post a blog entry link here later when it's up.
Saludos, MadridMan

Just finished the "Snow in Madrid - FINALLY!!" blog entry - complete with photos of the Royal Palace, Sabatini Gardens, Plaza de Oriente, Parque de Atengas, and even one from my rooftop.
GREAT snow today - and it continues to this moment! "They say" it'll snow tomorrow too.
I know all you norther United Statesens are fed-up with snow, but come on! Throw me a bone here! I NEVER get to see snow and finally I get some. I'm in snow-heaven!!!

The photos are magnificent! The Sabatini Gardens photo should be on a magazine cover. I enjoyed seeing it in October with the falling leaves. Now to return to see it with new growth in the spring!
Thanks for posting...and for the other photos as well.
Just found a good video of yesterday's snowfall overlooking the Royal Palace and Sabatini Gardens. Apparently, the 1-minute video was taken by a resident through their window. It's quite pretty!
