Snow always arouses a lot of interest among Mallorcans, as it is not a common occurrence on the island, and even less so at sea level. However, on occasions it has done so, giving rise to historic snowfalls that have gone down in history, such as those that took place in 1956 and 2012. The snowfall of the last few days in the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range cannot be described as historic, according to the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet), but it is important. The snow is already over a metre high in some areas of the Serra de Tramuntana, although the most widespread measure is around 40 centimetres.
