Snow in Buenos Aires !!!!

luigi · Jul 9, 2007

Last time this city had snow was in.... 1918 (!!!!!)
Today we had a good snowy afternoon, with people with cameras and others checking their GPSs to see if the continent moved or what.

Not enough for significant acumulation downtown but we had white snow in the suburbs. Everybody is perplexed.

I hope it keeps snowing all night

I see white lawns and roofs from my apartment, for my wife and kid it was their first contact with snow ever!
Last week we had about 20C (68F) at midday to give you guys an idea about how rare this is...

Took these minutes ago:

Trivial fact: 1st photo, on the left side of the street light is Diego Maradona parents house

Roofs dont show the real magnitude, I can see cars covered in snow.
After dinner we plan to go to a park nearby and take more photos

FYI, just checked and average highs/lows for Buenos Aires is 59/41 degrees F in July and 86/62 for January. That doesn't sound like a bad place to live at all. Summers a little hot but not too bad and moderate winters. I always thought from up here in North America, it would be nice to visit South America during our wintertime. As much as I dislike the cold weather, I dislike the short days as well with it getting dark before supper time so it would be nice to go visit somewhere, where the days are long again.

The grass stays green in the wintertime, huh. That must be nice.

Hmmmm. I think I'd build a nice little fire and enjoy a glass of that fine Malbec you have there. :twothumbs

Great pix. Snow is something I take for granted living in North USA. I love it though.

Hot hot does it get in the summer?

Edit: Heh. If I was out in that weather, I'd be wearing either or neither of those jackets.

I sure hope it keeps up. I am flying into Buenos Aires next Friday for some duck & dove shooting. Sure would be cool to shoot in the snow.

In the summer temperature is usually around 86F (30C) and humid, it can get up to 35C (95F) due to the humidity the heat index can go beyond 40C on some days (104F).

Snow is over now I guess we'll have to wait 80 years for the next one.
