Icicles

As the snow melts in the sunshine we've got some spectacular icicles.

On the cathedral

And also on this chalet.

River Ebro

Update: 20th Feb we saw some more photos:

This was the evening of 20th February

So much rain, so much snow. The water has to go somewhere. On Wednesday 4th Feb the Ebro looked like this in Zaragoza:

Here's a video. It's a bit noisy as it was terribly windy

                                           

There was some snow on Tuesday night. This much:

Apparently on the outskirts of town there was more.

Snow, snow and more snow!

Friday morning started off with snow. It's Sunday and it still hasn't stopped snowing. Luckily, I came home on Thursday because it was a holiday in Zaragoza. We went to the nearby village of Badaguás for dinner and a session in the spa at the hotel there. It was lovely, but we could see the snow falling all the time from the pool. Just after six o'clock we dried off, Rafa turned the car round and drove back down the hill. The snowplough had just cleaned the road and it was mostly downhill. We arrived a little stressed but safe and sound, taking care to park the car facing downhill. By Saturday morning, it was deep:

Actually, these were Friday night.

On Saturday, we checked the cars:

And this is on Sunday:

I think it's as big as any snowfall I've seen here, especially because the streets haven't been cleared. The cars are in chaos right now.

This is the back garden; knee-deep

The front. You can see where the snow is beginning to slide down the rooves.
