It was fun having to go to work yesterday morning. Nothing was cleared up, no way for cars to get to my house so I had to make a trek by foot. This morning was worse because some of the snow had melted during the day yesterday and it refroze. Everything is slippery now.
One thing outside observers need to know is how incompetent the municipality services are. They knew in advance that this storm was coming. There were warnings all week. It came a day late here so they had extra time. The municipality website showed no information, just some cultural events and an article from two days ago that "the municipality is ready for the winter". At this point we have a saying for poor organisation during winter time when everyone knows it's coming in advance:
"The winter surprised us again!"
@IoSapsai Ah, yes, a classic. They can never be ready for winter. When you hear that, just run (or go skying like our president does, whichever is more convenient).
Which city are you in?
Rather not say but across the border south, about 4-5 hours from Bucharest.
@IoSapsai I might know which town myself. So yes, my theory confirms. Authorities, all over the world, are never (enough) prepared for winter.
