Sunday 26 dec 2004 will be remembered as a record day in the cities of northern Castille.
In Burgos and Leon: over 3 feet of snow accumulated in a few hours. The cities of Valladolid, Palencia, Avila, Segovia, Soria, Logroņo, Pamplona, Oviedo, Vitoria and San Sebastian received snow but in these places it was a normal situation.
The Burgos province was totally collapsed,the town of Lerma (central Burgos, just in the middle of the road between Bilbao and Madrid) was buried under 4 feet of snow and -15ēC (5 F).
Thousands of drivers were stopped in the main highway for 17 hours.
About 3500 towns and villages were incomunicated.
All this in the returning day after Christmas.
