08 March 2010

Few dozen centimeters of white snow next five centimeters were the yellow and painted like snow, this type of thing is do not remembered even by our oldest Bitola citizens.

Today in Bitola was not applied folk proverb white as snow, because snow that was at early morning had yellowish color.First snow to rain tonight, which had a standard white color, and the second layer was yellowish.

All older Bitola citizens with astonishment that until now not seen snow in this color, but does not remember eather for this kind of snow in Bitola.

Instead of white snow and fresh color of snow, he now had the color as if he has captured rust.

First, when I started to shovel the snow I thought that my eyes are not accustomed to snow, so I look yellowish, but as time passed I realized that the snow is gone pretty white, says Bitola inhabitant Raslav that from one side was amazed, and from the other happy he just not heard of yellow snow but now have seen painted yellow snow.

Bitolas joke makers immediately made fun of the color of snow, and he is yellow because of yesterday's visit Gruevski of Bitola, and now today and the snow became orange as the color of Rebirth.

Formal hidrometeorological Institute said that the snow is the result of penetration of strong currents in the Mediterranean that brings sand from the Sahara.

Otherwise, Bitola did not stop precipitation of snow throughout the day, and at times the intensity was very strong. Most snow was at noon, when visibility was reduced to only a few dozen meters.

Precipitation of snow did not stop throughout the day, and still snowing in the late evening hours. The amount of snow cover is about twenty centimeters.
