Yesterday snowed in Lisbon . Well it snowed in Portugal … in the entire country. Some Siberian cold front and lots of satellite photos after I still haven't got the slightest idea of what caused it. But the truth is that in a country that isn't used to snow, it become the biggest event in the weekend. Everybody wanted to see and touch snow. Grownups acting like children and children just playing their roles. I guess snow has that power.
Although I didn't thought the extreme cold temperatures wore great… I had to fell what I think everyone felt, a little bit of pride to have snow in our back yards.
After all the excitement (and after the snow melt down), I think we wore left with a new subject to reflect on. Two major highways wore closed for most of the day, homeless had nowhere to go, no one knew what to do if the temperatures staid negative during a couple of days and we all ended up with the idea that Portugal isn't ready for any kind of climate anomaly… I believe that with the global warming and the lack of real steps to minimize it, we should start to get ready for all this anomalies.
