The situation is gradually normalizing after the passage of the

Filomena storm

, which has left several dead, snow-covered roads, fallen trees, incidents in water facilities and the closure of air, train and road traffic, as well as thousands of students without classes.

Many roads are still closed in large areas of the center of the Peninsula and it is not difficult to understand since this Monday the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) has reported that between Friday and last Saturday in Madrid it

snowed for 30 hours in a row.

In the capital, the works are focused on

cleaning the streets,

which have allowed 404 kilometers of 1,423 streets and 105 kilometers of pedestrian walkways to reopen to traffic to mitigate the effects of the storm, which have been carried out manually.

Madrid, yes, dawns at 10 below zero.

7.00 Madrid works against the clock to recover normality after Filomena

The Community of Madrid works against the clock to restore normality in the region and eliminate the large amount of snow accumulated in the streets after the passage of the storm Filomena, whose scope will be evaluated by the central government in the face of a possible declaration of the city as a particularly affected area by the storm.

After the snow, the next challenge is the generalized frosts that are being registered throughout the region, where the orange alert has been activated for minimum temperatures, which this morning have oscillated between -5 and -11 degrees, and that are leaving large ice sheets on the streets.
