First snow of the winter falls in the Sierra Nevada

First snow of the winter falls in the Sierra Nevada: "light snowfall has arrived later than in other years

The first snow of the winter has fallen in the Sierra Nevada in Granada, coinciding with the bank holiday El Pilar Puente weekend.

The snow’s arrival is later than that seen in other years; the first flakes fell there last year on September 13.

The fresh snow is a thin layer above 2,700m, but enough to excite skiing fans."
