Yes, the local people on the Island rush up into The Tramuntana every Winter when snow occurs. This causes main traffic jams etc. and the Guardia have to close the snow covered roads. The local people are not used to driving on snow, although when the heavy rains occur at sea level, the Islands roads become very slippy and dangerous.
Years ago I was on a bus in India on the long journey up to Simla. All the passengers were on their first outing from the plains. Halfway up the winding road on the right hand side there was a large patch of snow. None of the passengers had ever seen snow before and the coach nearly turned over as everyone on the left hand side rushed over to look! It's not quite as big a shock for Mallorcans but as soon as there's a light dusting of snow in the hills it's a lead story!
I’ve seen more snow in a snow dome !!
