When it is winter in Spain does it snow?

Answer 1

== == In Mexico City the last snowfall was on January 12, 1967, at that time it snowed in the city itself. Mexico City's downtown got 2 inches of snow and 5 inches at the mountains around the city, after that snowfall in 1967, it only snows yearly in the mountains around the city. There was a previous record snowfall in Mexico City downtown that was on March 5, 1940.

Answer 2

It depends on the locale. For example, it almost never snows in Spain's southernmost territories, like the Canary Islands, Ceuta, or Melilla. Also it does not usually get cold enough to snow in most lowland areas in the south, such as Almería or Seville. However, in more elevated places in the south such as the Sierra Nevada or Grenada, it does snow. It also can snow in more northern areas of Spain, especially if they are mountainous or hilly, like Galicia, Basque country, or Catalonia (including the outskirts of Barcelona).

However, snow is not common in most regions of Spain, much like it is uncommon in the US state of Virginia. Additionally, with the exception of Galicia, precipitation in Spain in general is relatively low, so the odds of snowfall decrease there.
