From January 8th to January 9th local time, due to the influence of Storm Filomena, Spain ushered in extremely cold weather.
The capital Madrid region suffered from heavy snow for about 30 hours, and the thickness of the road area reached dozens of centimeters. Heavy snow weather almost paralyzed road traffic in Madrid.
Since the night of January 8 local time, many major roads in Madrid have been blocked by snow, causing most of the road vehicles to be trapped. On the 9th local time, almost all public transportation in Madrid was suspended, and it was basically difficult to see vehicles driving.
People chose the subway as a way of travel more. Rail transportation connecting Madrid city to suburban towns has also been closed due to snowy weather, and Madrid’s high-speed rail to and from Valencia, Murcia and other cities has also been suspended.
