TV pictures showed fairly thick snow cover in the towns and 10 cm was
mentioned.

Salamanca http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/current/LESA.html 795 m asl.

According to WeatherOnline - Leon 936 m, Segovia 1006 m, Burgos 890 m,
Valladolid 846 m. So quite high up, certainly, but snow perhaps not very
common there in mid-November.
