Jaca weather

It's nearly spring, only a week to go, and it's beginning to look like it too. This has been an exceptionally snowy winter. There hasn't been snow on the ground all the time, but since the end of October there have been about ten occasions of heavy snowfalls. Several times I've had to shovel snow to clear the way to our front door. One day the thick layer of snow from the roof fell onto the front garden and flattened the middle of the box hedges of the whole row of houses.
Jaca is 820 metres above sea level, and has a pleasant climate on the whole. Just sometimes we have this inconvenience of snow on the roads.
The last time we went up to the cross-country ski resort of Somport, just across the French border, we found it really changed, because the snow-cover was 1.5 metres instead of 10 or 20 centimetres. The trees looked shorter because we were higher up!
It's been a brilliant season for winter sports; snow from November onwards.
