Correction, Dave,Well, Spring officially begins March 21/22.... so, how cold has it been for the last couple of days?
Correction, Dave,
Spring began at 12:15 Eastern Time, March 20, 2018 in North America so it would have bee, I think, about 6:15 PM last Tuesday. Not raggling, just being accurate.
Thanks for posting this. I've been watching his vlogs. It is looking a bit like Minnesota in March over there this year. I'll be walking a year from now, so I may need to give some serious thought to my layers for warmth.I have been watching a Video Blog on YouTube....

Stephen Jones is walking the Camino de Frances right now (March 2018).
The latest Vlog is... Camino de Santiago 2018 Vlog - Day 28 - Ruitelán – Fonfría
O Cebreiro is covered with a foot of SNOW!
So the Question: Is this a cold Spring in Spain, or is this normal weather for mid-March?
I can remember, at several Albergues I stayed at, they would have a picture of their building snow covering, mounted on the wall..... like it was a rare thing.
I’ve been watching him too. Giving me a good idea what to expect next weekI have been watching a Video Blog on YouTube....

If you are on the Atlantoic side, have you seen any icebergs floating by? LOLI’m in west central florida ..my plants are confused. I’m confused... Yesterday 28F today 75F
If you are on the Atlantoic side, have you seen any icebergs floating by? LOLBTW, coming from Florida, you know that to warm up the area for all the tourists, you need to crank up the thermostat and open all doors and windows.....
Stay safe ...you are my hero today !One day to Salamanca, terrible storm called Hugo today, 90km/h. And only +1 degree. Hard to keep standing on the road. And the wind was blowing all thru your head, but we all could do the 28kmtrs. No damage to anybody.
TV reporting killed for falling trees. Is it normal???
REI has 50% off right now on the REI Activator SI Jacket. It's $74 now, regularly $149. I don't have a good, light-weight insulated jacket (Minnesota winters aren't great for light-weight jackets), so I decided to pick this one up. It's actually lighter than the North Face biking jacket I was planning to bring.Thanks for posting this. I've been watching his vlogs.

Australia gets enough rain in some parts at some times, too much rain in some parts at some times and not enough rain in some parts at some times. Records back to 1890’s show the fluctuation in rain. Nothing new.Yes, this year spring is colder and later then normal, it's all over Europe anyway, not only in Spain. But what is normal now with the climate change anyway? A lot of heavy rain this winter and spring, also unusual, but probably due to the fact that last year was very dry and there were a lot of forest fires. Nature ties to balance itself, and the earth needs rain badly. So take the rain gear and some warm layers with you this spring, especially if you pass through the mountains.
We are at Najera now and the temperature is dropping. Heading for Santo Domingo de la something tomorrow.At Longroño this morning it was 2°. I am in Nájera at the moment and it is 7°. The Weather Channel is carrying a warning for Nájera for tomorrow night for disruptions due to snow and ice.
I hope so Pelegrin - we're Burgos to Leon on 14th May so spring instead of snow would be wonderful! Take care out there lovely people and Buen CaminoSo probably May will be a wonderful spring month
