Overview
- AEMET and regional service Euskalmet keep orange warnings in the Cantabrian ranges, with Álava under orange risk and snowfall reaching around 500 meters with local depths up to 15 centimeters.
- Government guidance projects significant local accumulations, including up to 25 centimeters in Burgos and up to 20 centimeters in the Montaña Palentina.
- Traffic agency DGT reports the N-625 near Riaño and Oseja de Sajambre at yellow level for irregular circulation, while the Puerto de Ventana on the AS-228 is at red level with lorries and buses prohibited and chains or winter tires required for other vehicles.
- Operational capacity is being reinforced as provincial road services deploy snowploughs, and Montaña Alavesa relies on the Diputación to cover secondary-road clearance due to a lack of contracted equipment.
- Euskalmet and AEMET indicate the burst is at maximum intensity this morning, with the snowline rising toward roughly 800 meters and alerts expected to wind down later today, while nearby coastal and Galician areas stay mostly cool, cloudy and largely dry.
