Snow in Buenos Aires Argentina

For the first time since 1918 it snowed in Buenos Aires, Argentina just after midday yesterday.
In fact the weather guys had an idea that it might snow but of course didn't mention it for fear of ridicule.

How did it come about? Well a polar front blowing up from antartica hit a low front coming down from the Andes and thus snowflakes started falling. Strangely, the temperature was above zero though it didn't stop the capital city from being lightly blanketed in white.

Here's a video of it for those that are interested:
