My first experience with snow. ❄️

Miniatura.jpg

It feels soft and at the same time it burns, to the point where you can't feel your hands.

That's the first thing that comes to mind when I think back to 2009, the first day I saw and felt snow in my city Bahía Blanca in Argentina.

I was sleeping, when my family woke me up with the news that it was snowing. This had never happened before in the place where I lived.

Bahia Blanca is a city that is characterised by being located in a sunken land, like in a well, and where it is usually windy. In fact, many call it the windy city.

The temperatures are quite extreme. According to what he has experienced, the maximum wind chill temperature has reached around 54 degrees. A stifling, dry heat that burned everything.

But that day, 22 July 2009, was the lowest temperature I have ever experienced, a wind chill of 16 degrees below zero.

That morning, when my family woke me up and told me about this rare event, which had never been recorded there before, I quickly got up and looked out of my bedroom window.

It didn't matter that it was dark, I think it was about 6:30 in the morning, I wrapped up warmly and went out into the garden. Everything was white and there were these beautiful white flakes falling.

This is one of those memories of such unique and special events that you never forget.

At that time they were using one of those mobiles that had a cover, so many years went by....

And I didn't have a camera, but I quickly went to get my phone to capture that moment, which I didn't know how long it would last.

From that time onwards, whatever I saw beautifully, I captured it with my camera phone.

The air was freezing and I could feel it entering my lungs out there, but I didn't care, it was a special moment.

At first I was shining a torch on myself, because the night was so dark and moonless.

But little by little the day started to get lighter and it stopped snowing. That's when I could see the whole garden in its great white expanse.

The extension is 50 x 20 metres. There were all kinds of plants, fruit trees, vines, bushes, etc. A great variety of plants that I remember very fondly. Everything was white.

After a while the snow began to clump and in some parts you could see the earth underneath.

I spent as much time as possible taking pictures of this great event, my hands were purple from the cold, but I didn't care. The thrill of seeing the spectacle was greater.

At that moment I enjoyed walking among the vine trees, which only had their trunks, but now full of snow.

The landscape had changed completely from the previous day. And it was wonderful and enchanting even though I could no longer feel my feet or my hands and I was super frozen.

I was still taking pictures and touching the snow. It was wonderful. I enjoyed it very much.

Later I found out that in many parts of the city there were snowmen and similar things, but I just enjoyed every second of that event in my garden alone with the nature of the snow and that wonderful landscape in front of me.

Neither the grass nor the earth had their usual colour, but were now beautifully white.

I knew that at some point the snow was going to melt, that's why I didn't go into the house at all, I hadn't even had breakfast. I just stood there contemplating the view before me.

As the minutes passed the snow began to melt in the places where the snow cover was weakest. But there were still large blocks and piles of it.

The landscape was changing every moment. I witnessed that spectacle without losing sight of it and today I remember it as clearly in my mind as if it was that cold July day back in 2009.

It never snowed like that again, maybe a few stray flakes, but I never saw snow again. That's why that memory is so precious to me.

That day I learned a little more to appreciate nature, to love it and to enjoy each of its details, that's why I didn't move away from there in spite of the cold. The experience was unforgettable and I could feel those wonderful surprises that nature gives us.

I am happy to bring it here and share it with all of you.

Thank you all very much for watching and reading this far, best regards and see you next time.

Thanks for sharing, I love the snow ⛄. It was part of my childhood and these photos, at times, rejuvenated me a few years (very few)😄. They say here that snow years are good years, hope all goes well for you. Best regards

2009- when I was a little kid who was just familiar with ice and not with snow-
Your post reminded me of my first experience with snow. I think it was most recent one in 2022 when I went to murree.

A once in a lifetime experience, one of those that you experience every time you remember it, I think every child has dreamed of playing in the snow and not everyone can make it happen.

I want to meet the snow too, and be able to feel that stinging pain of the cold. 😆😅.

Beautiful post. @avdesing 😊

It must have been wonderful. In my own case, I have never set my eyes on a real snow. In fact, snow do not fall over here in Nigeria. Sometimes I wish I can at least expirence what it feels like, but we certainly cannot have it all...

I can imagine what that moment must have been like for you, in my city (Corrientes) It has never snowed, the most extreme cold we have had froze the puddles of water, but it has never snowed, it must have been a really exciting sensation
What beautiful shots you have taken with your phone, you have great memories.
I appreciate that you have shared these beautiful experiences dear friend @avdesing
have a beautiful afternoon

I am so glad that you also had the opportunity to see and feel snow, but for me, it is so strange to read that you experienced snow in July, as here July is so hot 😂 I know, I know, it happened in Argentina 😇 Precious memory!

No me extraña que desde ese día ames un poco más a la naturaleza, no es para menos ❤️

👉👈 I have never seen snow 😞 but if things continue like this in a couple of weeks in Spain it is very possible that I will meet her hahahaha. As I told @mipiano I have been looking for coats, but here in Venezuela the real cold is unknown, I think I will not succeed....

Hey, this has been a great #tbt, it's the kind of experiences that mark life and what I was hoping to read in this community. I'm so glad you kept these pictures. I think I would have gone out to see the snowmen around the neighborhood hahahahaha. Thanks for being in this #tbt Thursday, I send you a hug my dear 🙏

If you go to Madrid, wrap up warm, I haven't been there but it's very cold!

I've already experienced extreme cold and heat... now it's better to have a stable climate hahaha.

I found the photos on my removable hard drive that I brought from Argentina the other day and I said to myself, why not bring it with me? My phone at the time... it was very old but those pictures will always be with me and now with you!

Thank you very much Jesús!

Fue hermoso, toda una maravilla ver la nieve por primera vez desde tu casa ❤️ en ese tiempo no pude jugar mucho en la nieve porque recien me estaba curando de los bronquios y no me dejaban jajaja pero al dia siguiente hicimos el muñeco de nieve y toque la nieve, se sentia tan hermosa, ojala se repita algun dia ❤️

Ese contraste entre lo blanco de la nieve y lo verde de las plantas es bellisimo ❤️ hermosos recuerdos me trajiste.

I like this shot. The yellow colour nicely compliments the whiteness of the snow. They look juicy. Are they oranges or lemons?

Hello friend, that is an unforgettable moment and an experience that can never be forgotten, in my life I have not been in snow and in Venezuela for the part where I live, it is almost impossible to fall, so it only remains to see it is for photos and someday feel that feeling in your hands. Also incredible how the temperature dropped and that natural phenomenon could occur, so it was worth it to wake you up and photograph each of those spaces, which look very nice, so that the memory of 2009 is unique. By the way, in one of the photos there is an orange or lemon bush?

Did you know what happened to get a cold when it never happened? In your photos you see red flowers and citrus fruits I think.

No, I don't know...

The red flowers are from a plant that flowers in winter and the lemon tree is from winter.... in Argentina the winter goes from June to August
