“Very unusual” snowfall in Mexico

“A very unusual snowing forced the closure of the Mexico City – Puebla City 150-D highway,” says reader Jesus Eduardo Herrera Flores. “Keep in mind that this is located around 19° N and that we are 8 days away from Spring.”

“Also, the “Ajusco” hill (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajusco) just outside Mexico City, showed snow this morning. I was born and raised in Mexico City and I can assure you that this never happened before (40 years back, at least) this late in winter. This usually happens once or twice a year  in late December or early January.

Heavy machinery works in the section covered by snow in the Mexico-Puebla highway, at km. 92, in both directions. The affected leg goes from the booth San Marcos to Rio Frio, where there have been up to 30 centimeters of accumulated snow.
