Scores of people in #Madrid neglected calls by the authorities to stay home and flocked outside to engage in winter activities, as the Spanish capital was paralyzed by the biggest snowfall in half a century, leaving three dead.
Storm Filomena, which buried Madrid under a record 50 centimeters of snow on Friday, became a disaster for the city.
