Unlike Zagreb or Osijek, Split isn’t built for snow. There are no salt trucks. Most homes don’t have radiators strong enough for negative temperatures. When snijeg falls, the city holds its breath.
We have created a special to capture this phenomenon. You can download the “Snijeg u Splitu” PDF at the end of this post.
Snow in Split doesn’t last. By noon, it is usually slush. By sunset, it is just a memory. But for those few hours, the city feels like Narnia by the sea.

There’s a moment in Split that feels almost surreal. One day, the Riva is bathed in golden Mediterranean sun, palm trees swaying against a deep blue sea. The next? Children are building snowmen next to Roman columns at Diocletian’s Palace.
