Snow in Buenos Aires

Filed under: International |

I wonder how long it’ll take till the Goracle and his minions blame this once-in-a-lifetime event on George W. Bush:

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) - Thousands of Argentines cheered and threw snowballs in the streets of Buenos Aires on Monday as the capital’s first major snowfall since 1918 spread a thin white mantle across the region.
Wet snow fell for hours in the Argentine capital, accumulating in a mushy but thin white layer late Monday, after freezing air from Antarctica collided with a moisture-laden low pressure system that blanketed higher elevations in western and central Argentina with snow.
“Despite all my years, this is the first time I’ve ever seen in snow in Buenos Aires,” said Juana Benitez, an 82-year-old who joined children celebrating in the streets.

Remember folks, it’s summer here and winter there; keep that in mind.
