Snow in Malaga
The famous snow in Malaga the 3rd in February in 1954 is in the memory of many locals. One day when they woke up with snow covering the streets up to 1 meter deep.
This situation is very strange to happen and before 1954 the only notice about this happening again goes back to 1882. The temperature registered the famous snow day was between 0,5ºC and 5ºC.
Those who were young by that date have very funny memories of the day. A free school Wednesday by surprise when they could enjoy the day by throwing snow balls and a cinema afternoon without homework.
Snow reached other municipalities in Malaga like Marbella and Estepona.

It would be a very strange success that the snow weather from 1954 happens again. This week could it snow but from 300m above the sea level.
