Well we've finally had our February snowfall, and it arrived just two days earlier than last year's snow:

This is how it looked just after 8 am today from my front porch in Puerto de la Cruz. Still some bare spots but it does look pretty:

I remember that snow on Teide was far more frequent when I used to work on the island during the '90īs. Are there any statistics for the past 3 or 4 decades?

Yes I think you are right would be interesting to find out

Three years ago I remember a heavy snow fall that even extended to the hills in the foreground of your photograph. It is a view that was picturesque but exceptional. Not much snow since.

Great picture by the way it is the same view from my terrace I am missing it as we are now back in UK for a few weeks for hospital apps etc.

After the rain, comes the snow. Here's what it looks like this morning just before 9 am from my front garden in Puerto de la Cruz:

I hope the storms are over.
Arrived on Sunday night to a Monsoon! Not bad this morning in Puerto. Lovely view, from the balcony, of snow on Teide between the clouds that is.
Even when raining and windy it is still a lot warmer than Wales.

nice and sunny but still windy and still some snow up on the mountains, the wind must of been bad as the car wash behind the petrol station coming of the TF1 on the way to El medano drying area is totally destroyed never seen steel bent in this way and ripped out of the ground.

Be Safe

I thought that you had lost so much weight that you blew off the balcony while trying to save the plants!!

Was gonna organise a search party, but thought NAH!! If she survives it'll be 'cos the devil looks after her Own!!:D:lol:

Thanks Canarybird for the pictures of snow on Teide.

They have reminded me that it is time I booked my flights as I miss Puerto so much.

Health issues have prevented my visits since March this year but 2014 looks good.

This was my view this morning... from another perspective. Now the question is - will we get a "White Christmas" or not? :cheeky:

Lovely Pooh. You see so much more from up at a higher altitude.

Well we won't know yet about snow at Christmas but it would be nice wouldn't it.

Well we finally have Teide in full dress this morning, December 13, 2013.

The sun is not yet full on it but later it will be looking even more beautiful, as long as clouds don't come over to cover the view.
