Madrid is experiencing its heaviest snowfall in 50 years.
Storm Filomena has disrupted travel across Spain.
Madrid’s main airport was shut down late on Friday and transport officials said the snowfall disrupted traffic on more than 600 roads.
But most Spaniards are embracing the freak weather.

Keep your pets inside, they also feel cold, have compassion !!!
Uhh? my dogs like snow very much. My pyrenean shepherd want to sleep outsite in the snow at minus 4 lol
So I let him out of the house in the early morning around 5 o’clock because I think it is crazy to let him sleep all night long in that cold. But I agree with you, have compassion , but also ‘listen’ to your dog too.
Leave bread crumbs out on the terrace or accessible places for birds to eat
@timothy george best comment
@Over Leven in Vayrac it seems that you take general comments personal, they are not , it’s very simple ,dogs feel cold and SHOULD NOT be sleeping outdoors with that horrible weather. This is about the best for the pets.
Brilliant
Ilove Snow .. that’s not climate change ..its nature phenomenal
Send this to the puppet cowards in the uk police they would not have the balls to go to spain and arrest the spanish
covid 19 brought this to madrid.
Heaviest Snowfall in madrid since 71. Places around the world where it’s supposed to be winter, feels hot like summer. Scientist are concern.
People: I am so happy, its beautiful 🤦♂️
People are actually dumb. And i guess they will always be like that.
@reysim simuladores you do realize when some abnormal natural phenomenon happens out of nowhere just in a few places its not a big thing to care about; like the 71 thing. But when unusual natural stuff starts happening all around the world one after another then obviously people should be concerned. And i would rather believe in people who have given up their whole lives to research about the environment than people who just found a random video or article in youtube or facebook made by a random person who has no clue or knowledge about the subject he/she talking.
The environment won’t change like a 100m sprint, it will change like an endurance race.
@Rihad Alif Chill out random scientist. People are not sp worry about things they dont know or controll. Let them enjoy life. By the way. Do you go everywhere walking or in a bicicle? The day you use a car or a plane, all that you just say will mean nothing. Hipocresy is another quallity of humans and ignorance is bless
@reysim simuladores i use public transport (train – domestic travel, bus – intercity, plane – different country as no other option) and if its a short distance travel then walk
“ignorance is a bless” 😅 yeah, can see. that
@Rihad Alif Man As you see I am kinda jocking here coz these last months were terrible. People use and do waht our stupid goberments say, I use combustion engines to move around, as you do, knowing we are polluting the planet, but what else can we do? I want a Tesla and solar panels. They are too expensive I am Waiting the (another 30 years) time for Fusion to finally give us all unlimited energy. I might never see that happend So instead of loosing my mind I try to live day by day with the things we can use. Cheers
@reysim simuladores 🤝👍
They got hit by 2 feet of global warming!
PLANDEMIA
I do believe in global warming but they do have a winter season but Madrid is usually dry, just a bit of moisture caused this
@Darius Lezama LMAO…….moisture AND COLD….lol….typical science denier omits the only mitigating factor that causes snow.
Зима👍👍👍 делайте снеговиков , стройте горки катайтесь на санях 😀 и не носите маски дышите свежим воздухом
Global warming?
1 meter of it. More is coming next 30 years. GSM (Grand Solar Minimum) check out Oppenheimer Ranch Project, Dr Willie soon and Tony Heller for all real data.
Yes. 2020 was (probably) the hottest year on record. 2016 had the record before that. And 2019 before that. 2015 before that. That doesn’t mean it can’t show in winter.
The alarmists will try to tell you that this is actually a sign of climate change. Very little if anything can be garnered from this. Remember, serious climatologists use a *minimum* of 30 years to study climate. When looked over the long term, there has hardly been any change.
Короновирус менял климать Планета земля ажывается 600 400 лет назад был ледниковый периуд токда жывые сушество и челавека мало было И Северный полюс был другом полюсе
meanwhile in the nederlands no snow XD
Same here in Germany. I’m only about 80km from Denmark and I have yet to see ANY snow this winter!
But in Central- Northern Spain snow every year and its veeeeery cold u have 38 ski spa centers in Spain. So….its normal
World : Climate change…..Welcome….. You can sit next to Covid19… Hey Covid19….. move….. Give climate change some space….
Deadly snow and now deadly spike in virus…why get out in huge groups.

Madrid is a very pretty city.
A good chance to have fun in one way, but stay safe in this time of pandemic.
Amazing, wish I was there!

This is like in those Doomsday movies.. 😟😕
so natural ! particularly the the inability to breath normally.
How dare you
Take those masks off. They are only good to keep you poor.
??
And then here Netherlands still no snow 😂😂
God loves the Spanish, there’s a reason The Zohar was born there.
MUUUUCH better than 20 days of rain non stop like in my city in southeastern Europe. We are going crazy by now…
Build houses for all the stray feral wild animals and homeless needy humans. At most risk are cold blooded animals such as reptiles amphibians marine animals insects who cannot tolerate cold weather at all. So many marine creatures were frozen to death in pond lake and ocean last year in some Country I forgot the name( sorry) 3 crocodile were found frozen to death seagulls swan fish were all frozen dead and in another place 18 elephants deer sheep tigers birds were found frozen to death.
Thats cuz they dont belong in a zoo
Freedom🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋
Looool they really think they got a lot of snow 😂😂😂🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
@José Manuel D we get that every few days we have something called “snow squalls” check it out. It’s neat.
@mantoman marking I don’t doubt it. But again 50-60 cms of snow is quite a bit
Yes the miracle of Spain is u can go to beach 300 km to the south and having sun…
@José Manuel D true
@atahualpa atahualpa that’s very interesting geography
Lucky buggers have fun Madrid
Absolutely Beautiful

FYI: it snows in Spain. We have mountains and cold temperatures in winter. Spain is much more than Ibiza or the Canaries 🤦🏼♂️
@mcrsal no one cares

@Juan Morales dios, no nos hagas pasar vergüenza, idiota.
Spain on day 1 of snow “yaaayyy!”

Well this works for Madrid city but not for Spain.
There are lots of places in Spain full of snow the whole winter.
The melting is coming…
So much for global warming.

Hospitals are so over crowded that she slept in a hospital bed? Thought they were all filled
No,hospitals don’t supply “hospital beds” they supply cots for staff when they are in a plan A scenario….true they have placed for them to sleep.That’s not what she stated
Madrid is 1000 meters above sea level, it is one of the world’s capital cities at the highest altitude, winters are cold but it is very rare for it to snow because it is almost always sunny
640 meters. Still the highest Eutopean capital city.
You’re wrong. Madrid is not 1.000 meters on the sea level. It’s between 600 – 700 ms.
Wrong it’s not 1000 meters
@The Ottoman Empire WWI 700m sorry
Where is Thunberg now .. with her Global Warming .. ha ha
Snow in Spain. Foggy Sun in Oregon. Who woulda. Thunk It.
Tree branches snapping under water ?
Looks beautiful. hrmphh.
we can build it. If not.
beware the freezing at night. Makes travel impossible.
Where is Greta?
Under the snow
i never knew it snows ther
Snow is quite normal in winter in North Spain. In Madrid it snows sometimes in winter but not this much. However we have mountains close to Madrid with snow every year until May with popular ski resorts
From now on, you know it
MAdrid has Sky resorts opened 2 months a year, But this snow is not like the kind Madrid has every year which is litle and it doesnt stay for a day. Just in the montains
For those who do not know, in Spain it is normal for it to snow every year, it is the second most mountainous country in Europe, and the entire northern half of the country is snowed every year. What happens is that in the city of Madrid it is strange to see such a heavy snowfall, but Spain is a country of snow.
What about southern Spain? Andalusia and Algarve in Portugal? Is there snow in there? Are these places semi desert, arid places?
@get2rog s
Spain is a country of snow …have a day off 😁😁😁😁
@Mahardhika Amarullah im from the south and here snows every winter but in other parts of the south that are less
mountainous it snows rarely but here in granada snows a lot and all the mountains that sorround usally stay snowy and there is a lot of towns that the snows is during all winter like: pradollano, trevelez , pampaneira, capileira , bubion , pitres and others…
@Mahardhika Amarullah not on the South of Spain…Only on Portugal’s highest mountain,it rarely snows there.However these places do get very cold still and plenty of rain in the winter.
Laughs in Toronto
Bitc, I’m from Siberia ish..
Snow is indeed magical! 😃❄️
I didn’t even know that it could snow on the Iberian peninsula.
hahahahahahahaha Iberian Peninsula has 38 ski spa centers and in Northern Spain u have cityes more cold than Boston (Burgos, León, Ávila, Victoria)
@atahualpa atahualpa Thanks for your reply.
I thought the same with Turkey, but yes it snows too there.
@bostongirlsandy u r wellcome….to Spain but dont forget the coat if u come in winter specially the center-northern country or probably u die of hipothermia
FACE MASK IDIOTS ! GET UP STAND UP FOR YOUR RIGHT ! NO MASKS !!! BAD FOR HEALTH !
Global warming is getting out of hand.
It starts with fun and ends with underlying health conditions 🤔

I can’t believe they’re wearing masks OUTSIDE!?!? Am I the only person in the f***ing world that sees what is WRONG with this picture? I bet their hospitals have been empty for months–and not because of masks. What a bunch of suckers.
No, we have one of the highest rates of infection in europe. We have 70.000 deads with a population of only 46 milions

When people celebrate global warming
Wow it’s snowed in africa , cause Spain is so hot it like Africa’s heat if not more , and I am sure it never snowed in other places in Spain many years ago
It snows every year in Spain, but in Madrid it doesn’t snow like this.Hope you can understand the point.
Spain is hot in July and Agost, Not Africa at ll. In Summer north Spain is cool and nice
You don’t have any idea what are you talking about, sir. Spain’s so hot….in summer. Now you can go to drink some sangría and a paella with chorizo. Amén.
Nature is changing…
Earth is changing…
Very sad here temperature is 5 degree no snow still we hate cold
I don’t understand. Did this happen recently? Why are the people not maintaining social distancing? Don’t they have protocols or something?
I didn’t see chaos.
Oh noes the global warming goblin Greta will not be happy
People : Yippy snow ! 😊
Covid : Yippy lots of people together out in the cold ….🙄
99% survival rate
