Normally, it rarely gets below 10°C where I live on Terceira. Pico, the dormant volcano and highest point in all of Portugal, on the island of Pico does get snow. Yesterday, it got down to 4°C and a hail storm passed through. It turned the ground in my front yard white for about an hour. You can see the jonquils starting to flower, the lilies are growing, some crinums, and a lot of evergreen type daylilies
