Borrasca

The borrasca  described in the article is Filomena, the historic snowstorm that slammed Madrid on January 9, 2021. Seven popular videos from social media are presented in the article. They are so cute! Before today, the only Spanish word that I knew to use for storm was tormenta, so I am glad to be able to expand my vocabulary!
