First snow at O Cebreiro

The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
Hi,
Walked into leon today, the hills in the distance looked beautiful with the snow caps. Just one small problem for me i have to walk that way.

Haha! I always forget the time difference! I'll have to come back tonight and take a look!
 
And snow outside Santiago at Bando San Marcos near the TV station.

Yesterday's dusting of snow at O Cebreiro seems to have accumulated into a fair depth!
 
yes, the mountains visible on our northern horizon here in western Palencia are beautiful and white today. When I returned from Santiago on Sunday (19 Dec.) the mountains west of Villafranca were snow-covered, but not dangerously so.
Hazard Yet Forward, Pilgrims, and Merry Christmas to you all!

CRTVG has removed the O Cebreiro webcam from its web page, but the camera is still there if you use the above link. Most curious.
 
Very light, comfortable and compressible poncho. Specially designed for protection against water for any activity.

Our Atmospheric H30 poncho offers lightness and waterproofness. Easily compressible and made with our Waterproof fabric, its heat-sealed interior seams guarantee its waterproofness. Includes carrying bag.

€60,-
They report up to 15c in Santiago in the next few days, so most of the snow at O Cebreiro should be gone within not too long... of course it might come back

Buen CaminO!

There is snow again at O Cebreiro, the second time this fall.

Yes, the weather report yesterday said "Snow over 1000m" in all of northern Spain (including the pyrenees as well).

Buen Camino!!

That is not snow that is after someone has thrown around some icing sugar.
 
It is not the first snow of the year, but it is snowing at O Cebreiro! With rain predicted for Lugo for the next couple of days, snow may continue at O Cebreiro.

See what it looks like in this 2010 video:
