These early days of the new year some argue in the media about whether or not it snows in my land in the middle of the anticyclone. It is by the cinarra or cencellada, cencello or cenceño, meteorological formation of frost and white ice needles on the ground, grass and leaves and branches of trees. At night when the temperature drops to -5o or -6o on the banks of the Douro, the Tormes or the Aliste or the Pisuerga it seems to snow in the light of the streetlights. But no, they are the droplets of the mist that condenses and freezes at the dew point.
