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
