Resumo
now precipitations are not an unusual phenomena in Alcoy Valley, but they are not either absolutely routinely. There are snowfalls over the highest land in the area almost once time on the year. There are weak snowfalls (annual recurrence) that do not cover the streets of the main towns and other ones with a lower recurrence, which reach depth between 5 and 20 cm. Finally there are snowstorms with a variable recurrence, that have a remarkable vividness: they can accumulated a depth of 50 cm in a few hours. These cause terrible consequences on infrastructures and economic activities, particularly to the manufactures. In these last events, it is talk of snow as a climatic risk. These snowfalls are noticed in different ways by the inhabitants of this area. Newspapers are an expressive source of information to be stated these ideas.
