    Many people here perceive ''snow'' as being an ''European'' thing, like mountains, forests etc. hahaha. I have seen even discusions about it between Italians and Iberians to prove which group has the most ''European'' topography and climatic zones in their countries.

    The most snowy place I have been was in North India/Nepal though, far more colder and snowy than most of Europe.
    It snows more in the Southern Italian city my great grandparents were from then it does in Tuscany. They were from L'Aqulia which is quite mountainous and about 50 miles from Rome. They have a popular ski resort there but last year a hotel in that region got covered by an avalanche and many people died.

    It is all relative. Snows in Israel also.

    While most of Portugal is currently experiencing strong winds and lower than average temperatures, residents in the Serra da Estrela in central Portugal have seen roads shut down due to heavy snow falls.

    You know Penguins only live in the southern hemisphere. I think Argentina has a large colony it must be cold there.
