yes it is - I have seen thick snow in spring (March) from Roncesvalles to Burgos - but that is rare.
Hit here to see proof positive of the 2006 snow and me!...

I will not be doing the Camino for the snow. We have enough of that here - about 35 cm today! I do hope anyone on the Camino is staying safe and warm...Wow... there is something a little bit romantic about a snowy camino... although I suspect the reality is somewhat different
David... I was in around Burgos in late March 2012. Perfect walking weather.
Amazing stuff. I was at the cruz in April 2012 as well. Gorgeous blue skies, a bit of white cloud and glorious sunshine.You must count on all kinds of weather on the mountains any time of the year.

Must have been something, AnnieYes, very amazing! At these levels the weather can change from one minute to another! It is unpredictable really - be prepared for anything.
When I had lunch in Rabanal it all was ok - and on the way to Foncebadon it turned out to a blizzard - a snow storm. I stayed in Fonceadon and collected my forces to be able to continue the following day to the lower levels with no snow. Kind of scary experience.
No cars/ taxis could drive up to Foncebadon that day to pick you up!
Great photos - Ill be in the Burgos area in about a month's time. I hope it looks a bit different by then, although it's beautiful in your pics.We're not walking the Camino, but driving through on our way down to Lisbon. We left the coast at Irun and drove across country to Pamplona. From Pamplona onto Logrono and then Burgos.
We expected to see some snow as we drove towards Pamplona but the worst weather of the day was driving towards Burgos. I hope there were no pilgrims out walking in the snow storm today!

LesBrass, I may have missed it - will you be doing the central route, or the coastal route?
(By the way, update on my previous post. As of 5:00 pm we got 46 cm of snow.)

I have a mundane question. How did you attach your photos so they opened automatically with your post when I opened this thread? The thumbnails which appear under other posts are so tiny I can't see them and they take a while to load. I can see the "Upload a file" button to the right as I write this, but I'd rather see a large pic embedded in a post instead of a tiny thumbnail under a post which I have to click on. (I'm assuming that "Upload file" adds a thumbnail, haven't tried yet.) My photos look so great that I...oops, vanity.
Buen Camino, - Mike
Training for the Camino on the Camino - you can't get better than that. There is nothing near those elevations here when we're training!... and we have a week in August so we're going to drive down to Irun and walk the Norte for a week for training...
