Tenerife Weather

[Nova]

And Teide's is white all over with snow sprinkles really very far down.

I wonder if my washing is still on the line...

Just ventured outside and the thermometer is hovering between 7 and 8deg! still very windy, which of course brings the temperature down even futher. Occasional showers but not as heavy as yesterday.

It's beautiful here today!  The sun is shining and the sea is scattered with little yachts and dinghies making the most of the nice weather.

well it's bloody cold up here! No rain or wind, at least, but we've needed the fire from first thing this morning!

My experiment to see how much I can bring the electricity bill down just went out of the window as the wife ever so sweetly said 'Get that bloody heater in here NOW! AND TURN IT ON FULL!!!'

Was walking this morning in nice sunny weather here , even got burnt a bit on the arms from the sun as I forgot sunprotection cream .

The Cabildo says that the access roads to Teide remain closed to the public for safety reasons because of road conditions, and that two snow ploughs and a JCB are still working to clear them. Conditions are particularly bad in the Izaña area, where snow is 1m high. Various effects of the weather system are still being felt, the Teleférico is closed, for example, and part of La Orotava's carnaval has had to be postponed, but the authorities have stressed that schools remain open throughout the archipelago.

The Cabildo says that the TF38, Chio-Boca Tauce road is now open to traffic. That's "officially" open. The Cabildo has asked that people respect signs and official advice, but seemingly quite a few snow seekers have made it up there today. Snow clearing continues, and I'm grateful to Stewart Kirby for the photos above, from earlier today. JA

Fabulous photos!  Here's my effort, taken from Costa Adeje this morning:

The Cabildo has confirmed that the TF21 (via La Orotava) remains closed from La Caldera to the Teleférico. Also closed is the TF24 (via La Esperanza) all the way from the junction with the TF523 (Los Loros-Arafo).
