It is around 4:00pm this friday August 1st 2003 that the first snowflakes fall on the island. very low temperatures at 2200m of altitud have been recorded, and the clouds allowed to the ice cristals to form very quickly. The day after in the early morning,the snow totally covered the plaine des Sables with a 5 cm of thickness. Nobody still alive on the island ever saw such a phenomenon !
