764764485_8a435faaee_m.jpgThe capital of Argentina, the lovely Buenos Aires, is experiencing an historic winter this year. A wave of extreme cold has hit Argentina, leaving several dead in other parts of the country, but in Buenos Aires, the city received a treat yesterday when the first snowflakes in nearly 90 years fell on the city:

The strange meteorological phenomenon, unseen in BsAs since 1918, is likely to put fear into those who believe that global warming will be the end of us, but in the city Porteños got out and enjoyed the snow.

Some Argentina Flickr users — enjoying their first snow since June of 1918 — have created a couple of groups called “Atypical Snow in Argentina” and Buenos Aires Nevada, and following are some images from their pool, which will give you a sensation of what it’s like to be there now:

There are also quite a few cool YouTube videos of the phenomenon.
