Storm Filomena hit Spain hard on Saturday January 9. Heavy snowfall, the heaviest on record since 1971, completely paralyzed Madrid and caused the death of at least three people, announced the Spanish Minister of the Interior. “If, despite the extremely difficult weather conditions, the number of incidents is relatively limited, we deplore the death of three people”, declared Fernando Grande-Marlaska during a press conference, without providing further details.
Five central regions, including that of Madrid, were placed on red alert on Saturday morning. The main roads have been closed, as has the Barajas International Airport in Madrid.

Additionally, all trains to or from the capital have been canceled as snowflake-laden squalls continue to hit central Spain. And schools in Madrid will keep their doors closed on Monday and Tuesday.
