MADRID, Jan. 11 (Xinhua) -- Almost 48 hours after Storm Filomena swept through central and eastern Spain depositing around half a meter of snow in almost 30 hours of continuous snowfall, the country is still struggling to return to normality.
Schools in the capital Madrid, which remains one of the regions worst affected by the snow, remain closed until Tuesday, with the city's Mayor Jose Luis Martinez-Almeida saying in a TV interview that the closure could be extended a further day due to the difficulties the snow has caused to communications.
