OK, so we now have proof that the world’s climate is completely out of whack.  It’s snowing in Barcelona… in March!  Back in Toronto, Canada, where I’m from, it’s currently 10 degrees Celsius, sunny, and beautiful.  What is going on?!

Snow in Barcelona is so uncommon that we can’t even get a reliable answer on when the last time was that it snowed like this (Edit: Local media sources are saying the last time was 1993).  After 6 years living in Barcelona and I can remember snow one time, about a year ago, but it was nothing compared to this.

Barcelona weather in March is usually beautiful and sunny and quickly approaching summer, but alas, this March we find ourselves in a surprise winter wonderland.  The bus system has gone down, people are leaving work early, traffic is at a stand still and snowball fights are breaking out all over the place!

If you live here, grab whatever winter clothes you have and go out and play!  Stay as far away as traffic as you can though.  Drivers are not used to snow in Barcelona and the accident rate today must be through the roof. We shot some photos by our office (Diagonal/Paseo de Gracia area) so take a look and enjoy!
