Ski resorts

For anyone heading up to ski: how many days have a snow, wind or cold warning in each resort's zone, season by season. A snow warning is a forecast of heavy snowfall in the zone: it usually brings fresh snow, but also roads needing chains. A wind warning can stop the lifts.

Pyrenees, Sistema Central, Cantabrian Mountains and Galicia, Iberian System and Sierra Nevada.

This is not a forecast: it counts the warnings AEMET issued on those dates in past years. A warning is a forecast that a threshold will be crossed in the zone, not damage.
