One of the coolest waves threatening Spain century
260,000 students without classes in Catalonia - Record electricity consumption
E. G. BLAS - Madrid - 03/02/2012
So far 2012 was the year without winter, but yesterday the winter has arrived. And how. Siberian cold snap that has left more than a hundred deaths in Europe has now entered the Peninsula and threatens to become one of the coldest in the country in the last century. From today until Sunday, the thermometers are not going to rise five degrees Celsius, and will plummet to 13 below zero in high mountain areas, or negative 11 or 10 below zero Soria in Teruel. The wind chill is even more stark due to the wind of 80 miles per hour that will whip the Northeast and the Balearics. The cold weekend coming will not, however, white: this type of polar air is dry, so beyond what has already snowed in Catalonia and the Basque Country, the storm will not bring snow.

- Properly informed of the weather and the situation of the chosen route.
- Have chains or winter tires, and gloves for placement, flashlight, proper footwear and warm clothing.
- Riding on country roads and during daylight hours. Avoid traveling at night on back roads.
- Attention to the directions on the road sign information and information panels.
- Becoming see through the proper use of lighting. If rain, fog or snow reduces visibility is essential to turn the lighting and the specific crossing fog.
- If the road agents tell you that immobilizes the vehicle, not resume the march until instructed to do so.
- Provide phone and fill the tank of fuel per 100 kilometers.
