As for the snowfall, social media users shared images of white landscapes this Christmas. One of them was the Nevado de Toluca in the Mexico state. The snowfall was witnessed by more than 700 people, although there were restrictions so as not to put tourists at risk. In the Toluca Valley, only sleet fell.
Mexico City also gave an exceptional surprise, since the snowfall reached the areas of Magdalena Contreras, Álvaro Obregón and Milpa Alta, whose altitude exceeds 3100 asl
