Snowing in Burgos.

[Dave C.]

Snowing and 2 degrees C.

I can't really "like" that message, Dave. I think I'll stick to the UK for the moment - in East Anglia we have sunshine and 15 degrees! However .....
.... Buen camino, amigo! and get out the sledge!

Well, still warmer than where I live right now. But not snowing here at the moment in northern Alberta. Spring is being as stubborn here as it is in Spain this year!

I'll be arriving in Burgos in less than a week. Looks like I won't be wear wearing my sandals.

I hope the weather breaks soon. For your sake, and for all those walking right now, as much as for my own. Buen Camino.

In that case the hills around Atapuerca must be totally snowbound. Walking that section would not be recommended. Be careful pilgrims!

It was snowing as we left Rabanal this morning and conditions were quite difficult until we stopped for lunch at El Acebo.

Yes, it looks quite promising for next week, maybe even sandals weather. BTW, it's 2 degrees right now again in Burgos (evening) but it was 7 degrees (45 degrees Fahrenheit) during the afternoon ...

I'm at the same latitude in France as the Francès, and it's been raining non-stop here -- and at a far lower altitude, so it's quite clear that up on top it must be snow.

Start to clear up this weekend hopefully.

Same here in Minnesota (Twin Cities). The ground is still snow covered and more snow is forecast for the weekend. Ugh!

Take care pilgrims.
Here in South East UK, it is raining and ... Still raining Paths very muddy and most walks this week had to be cancelled.

Hope it warms up before I get to Spain in two weeks. We are the exact opposite - having an extraordinarily extended summer - two days ago was the hottest April day ever recorded (Sydney).

What a truly different Camino experience we are having in our third installment ... rain, wind and snow. When the sun comes out it is lovely, but it has been rare. Prepared for the rain ... it's the lower temperatures that have caught us out. Thankfully the warmth of welcome by fellow peregrinos and albergue staff has more than made up for the weather. Just spent a wonderful evening in the Alberge de Peregrinos de la Santa Cruz in Sahagun. As always ... the Camino provides!

Hola, nice is a very arbitary term. Yes maybe not snowing, but the snow in the Pyrenses, around Atapuerca and west in Galacia will still be around. Please stay safe, no risks!

Crikey - seems a bit unfair in Mid April!!

 

[seashell]

Just arrived in Fonforia after walking from Trabadelo over O Cebreiro. The path up to O Cebreiro is free of snow but there was a km or so of snow as soon as we left O Cebreiro. Walking was very difficult; trying to walk in previous footprints is extremely tiring. There were further gullies of deep snow intermittently all the way to Fonforia. Perhaps as recompense, the albergue A Reboleira is absolutely stunning. They've even got little plastic pipes blowing warm air into our gore-tex but absolutely sodden boots.

I know! It was tough just before St Juan de Ortega but we managed

I’ll bet that smells lovely!

One sure thing, it cannot last.

I got a link to a French Weather Channel from a thread on this forum:

The Col de Bentarte is warming up (although I guess it could cool down again!!)

Where are you in East Anglia, Stephen? I spent some time there some years back--particularly Wethersfield!

I live about 4 miles north of Woodbridge, ten miles from Ipswich, Laurie! Apologies for delay - just back from the Holy Land. S.

Currently in Burgos - April 19. Hit 23C yesterday and at least 20C today. Didn’t notice any flakes. . Amazing how quick the weather can change!
