The province of Zamora faces a winter weather episode
The State Meteorological Agency reports that a cold front is settling over the province of Zamora, causing a sharp drop in temperatures. Precipitation is occurring in the form of snow, concentrated in the mountainous areas of the north and higher altitude zones. ❄️
Active warnings for snow and winter conditions
AEMET maintains yellow-level warnings for snowfalls that may deposit several centimeters in areas such as the Sierra de la Culebra, Sanabria, and the northern valleys. The north wind worsens the situation, making the cold feel more intense than the thermometers indicate. This phenomenon is expected to last several hours, with a gradual improvement starting Friday.
Areas most affected by snow:- Sierra de la Culebra: Significant snow accumulations.
- Sanabria region: Persistent snowfalls and low snow level.
- Northern valleys: Snow precipitation that may disrupt traffic.
The snow level may drop locally, which may disrupt traffic on some secondary roads.
Recommendations for the population and actions
In this situation, citizens are asked to exercise extreme caution if they need to travel and to check road conditions. The services of the Junta de Castilla y León are already working to spread de-icing agent and ensure that main roads remain passable.
Key safety measures:- Check the condition of the vehicle's tires before leaving.
- Carry chains or winter tires for trips through affected areas.
- Dress appropriately to avoid exposure to intense cold.
Preparations in urban areas and public perspective
In municipalities, municipal teams are preparing to act in case snow settles on streets and sidewalks. While public services mobilize, the population adopts various perspectives: some enjoy the snowy landscape, while others prioritize staying indoors with the heating and a hot drink, which become essential elements of the day. 🏠☕
