The storm called 'Filomena' has left a storm of snow and unusually low temperatures throughout Spain. Specifically, in the capital, the storm has lasted for three days and has deposited up to 50 centimeters of snow in the interior of Madrid, covering its emblematic areas with snow, and resulting in impressive and historical snapshots: the Almudena Cathedral, Puerta del Sol, Gran Vía …
According to information provided by Meteored.com, Filomena originated in a low pressure system near Canada, which crossed much of the Atlantic to the southeast thanks to a jet stream. On Thursday, January 7, the storm began to spread its influence across the Iberian Peninsula.
The air physicist José Miguel Viñas (@Divulgameteo) – disseminator, meteorologist at Meteored and Agropopular and a regular contributor to Muy Interesante – makes a call these days on his Twitter account for 'citizen precaution'. Viñas advises removing snow from terraces and windowsills to avoid the formation of large and dangerous icicles; clear the snow from the gates and pedestrian accesses; and be careful when walking through the parks, since the weight of the snow on the treetops is causing them to break and fall to the ground, as we will see in some images in this gallery.
Next, we collect some impressive photographs of Madrid covered in snow.
