This is killing temperature even for the hardiest palm. So I'm wondering how much of their mature trees and landscaping will be destroyed

The city of Madrid, where I live, is currently full of fallen trees. I went for a walk a couple days ago and could count easily 10-20 just in the nearby streets.

It's been pretty chaotic, since we're not used to snow at all. After 4 days roads are still unusable, supermarkets can't restock shelves...The city's pretty much stopped.

-16C, as has been recorded in Madrid, is definitely lethal for olive trees.

I don't know about the temperatures in the all of Spain or where the main olive orchards are but that has the potential for being devastating for growers.
