Well gotta remember geography is important to climate as well
not just latitude. Northwest Spain has a British Isles climate and the interior is more continental plus you gotta factor in elevation differences and Spain's land differs a lot in elevation from low plains to highlands in like 80% of the country.
Anyway, how much does it snow in the interior? I want to live in Spain after I graduate from university here and wanna live in places like Madrid, Extremadura, C-L, C-LM, and Navarra

We came to Asturias this time last year and when we drove up from the South, it was fun to see the weather and the landscape change so much, the further up we drove.
It rained heavy in Madrid and then sunny and bright further up.
But when I saw the Picos de Europa on the horizon, I started to get really worried. I had visions of driving through snow and mountains. There was some snow around on the moutains but fortunately not on the motorway. Once we passed Oviedo and to Aviles did I feel better.
We live near the coast so are quite warm compared to the inland areas.
Today is quite cold but not cold enough for gloves and scarfs yet! My kids didn't even want to wear their coats on the way home from school either. Local kids keep them on - perhaps mine are just crazy and haven't climatized.

Can't be long now.... It's getting cold right now in the UK, with snow forecast for the end of the week. I've heard it's already cold in central places like Madrid. Get those gloves and scarves out!

Snow has already fallen in the Pyrenees and the highest parts of the mountain range on the borders between Galician and Castile Y Leon. I bet some has also fallen on the tops of the Picos too. How much I do not know.

I can see the snow on the tops of the Sierra Nevada from my terrace. Been there for a couple of weeks now

I was going to reply to this thread until I saw I already had, a year ago! I thought I’d been caught in a time warp.

I suspect, though, like me you're old enough to remember the two worst UK winters of the last century. Yes, that's right, Mike and Bernie..
