[Leica] Snow storm and the Great Conjunction

[Nathan Wajsman]

I like the first one very much. We are supposed to get a blast of Arctic air this weekend, with snow as low as 300 meters above sea level. So nothing in Alicante, of course, but if the forecasters are correct, I should be able to see something white in the mountains in the interior. Although based on prior years, it will be just a thin coating that will not last the day.

Cheers,
Nathan
