It's just snowed at my house in Tenerife!

[KirstyJay]

In 13 years I have never seen snow this low, much less, not had to leave my house for it.

My kids are playing in it now.

Chio. Just before the turning for teide on the west road.

If you play about with the link you can see the winds that pulled the cold air down to give the snow .

We had hailstones nearly all afternoon yesterday in Icod!

Just wondering how many of you would live here if there was no sun. Keep saying Tenerife would be nothing without the sun. Went to a indian for a meal on beach last night I I was freezing.

I think the warmth is probably 80% of the reason I live here, although I don't like it too hot.

[BoPeep]

If the weather was the same as Spain or France I would have a house there as its less journey time and the flights are cheaper. I could even get a dog and drive to the continent via the channel tunnel.

I find French easier than Spanish too as I learnt it at school all those years ago!

[DJ Dangerous]

Wow, awesome pics, Krusty.


Just wondering how many of you would live here if there was no sun. Keep saying Tenerife would be nothing without the sun. Went to a indian for a meal on beach last night I I was freezing.

Tourism here is mainly based on the warmth / sun, and without tourism, there would be a lot less jobs, property prices would be lower, and maybe the economy would revert to what it was sixty years ago, when boatloads of refugees left here for Venezuela.

That said, places like Ireland have terrible weather most of the year, and yet tourism flourishes... I guess it would be harsh to say that Tenerife is "nothing" without the sun.

Dont mind her Chiffy!!:p

[TOPGUN77]

Where abouts was the snow we live in ElRoque it got down to 12 in December at night now averaging 15 we saw snow from our balcony I think it may be Vilaflor,

[Lissalyon]

It was nice but I don't think I've warmed up yet. Saw a temperature sign saying 26 about 3 pm but I would have said it felt more like 20-21.

No, am not lobster. It's barely touched me! I have a very low basal temp about 36 degrees so these things seem to take much longer with me.
I did put a su dress on though!

[primrose]

Been up to Santa Cruz twice this week and they are all wearing Coats, boots and Scarves and out of the sun you needed them.

[Lissalyon]

Wow. Can believe it in uk with the distance between Scotland and London but here the distance must onlybe 60 miles.

Very grateful for the fact I am here and not up there.

Would like to be there Tuesday for festival though ;-(
