The snow has fallen on Bullas covering everything in white and leaving stamps again for the memory.
The days 7 and 8 of January 2021 will be remembered by the invasion of a storm of snow and rain that has been baptized as Filomena.
The Bullas City Council activated the Snow Prevention Plan last Wednesday before the weather forecast with 'orange' warnings issued by the AEMET.
The storm, which finally met the forecasts, has brought rainfall in the form of snow with accumulation in the urban area of ??Bullas of 3 to 5 centimeters.
Therefore, said Plan went to Level 1 in the Emergency Phase.
The Consistory has worked to keep the streets passable, without rest, with the action of 3 backhoe loaders, as well as Local Police, Civil Protection and Municipal Services.
In addition, from the collaboration of CEIS Firefighters and the Forestry Brigade.
The neighbors have been able to enjoy this post-Christmas gift, even more if possible, considering that the classes after the Christmas holidays begin next Monday, January 11.
The local authorities remind that before this storm, extreme precautions must be taken and not to travel by vehicle except out of necessity.
In cases where you want to go to see and photograph the snow, to higher places, in mountainous areas, where the thicknesses are greater, be very cautious and above all do not do it at hours when temperatures drop since ice may form on the road.
In this sense, Civil Protection has had to intervene in the rescue of several vehicles that did not have chains and skidded due to the poor conditions of the road.
Filomena, according to the models, seems to be staying until Sunday and rain is expected and maybe snow again.
For all these reasons, great caution is requested and insists on avoiding outings by car, if it is not strictly necessary.
