too busy now to make pics but the snow here in holland is insane
very thick layer in no time
yesterday all freeway tarmac where covered in a layer of 2 cm ice and i needed to bring a broken truck to the garage
a 30 minute drive cost me about 3 hours
all freeways where ull of trafic jams , cars cars cars where lined up in long long lines , so they could not get salt on the roads or clear the roads becuase they where all full with cars

a result of a bunch of people who keep driving like stig and cause accidents and then ...

pffftt

is snow in certain places of europe so rare?
i have hard time believing so, yet i see in loads of places :chaos in here and there and also there too cause of snow...

no its not rare in europe
i know when i was little we had snow every winter
we used to iceskate every winter

the we really had a good amount of years where the winters where mild , not much snow (usualy only abut 4 days in wintertime)

now the real winters have been coming for a bout 4 years and hounestly people get crazy
we get weatheralerts when the first snowflakes hit the ground
they suddenly predict the worst winter ever ... when in fact they cant look forward that exact

why is it that every year when winter hits in no time the salt is used up ...

they can only whine about stuff but dont do shit to make sure the next year its better

it off-course makes a hudge difference witch area its in , i'm now talking about major city area's with crowded streets and lots of traffic

but anyway they should not get crazy right away

FIAT STILO?

well last night there was more snow , this morning my car looked like this




my garden , really thick layer because in the middle my pond is raised above the pavement and its all level almost

well i have been shoveling for 2 and a half hours first the garden , the my car , also shoveled everything away around and under my car / wheels , under the snow there was actually a layer of ice
put salt on the ground around my car
they expect more sjow but this already is half the work if i have to go to work tomorrow

shoveled so much and hard i was swaeting and all hot

one cat went out and imidiatly got back in the house , my other cat (on the pic) really dont mind and went out and after an hour came back



i had to wear boots



after loads of shoveling





after a while my wife came to help



finally managed to dig the old girl out

Much snow again on Christmas Night.

These pictures were taken at 12.30am today.
This morning the whole streets looked like on the first picture.







Meals on Wheels was absolutely crazy today drifting always and everywhere.

This night it sn owed again heavily...damn, we already have many trucks in town, who transport the sn ow out of the city, cause it's too much, and we also dont have salt anymore.

One small town near us, a bit higher, has over 1metre of sn ow.

Here you can see a picture photographed in inner city.

luckely in my aerea its pretty much snowfree on the roads
only some streets are iced / frozen snow but for now its good...

trucks / lory's where not allowed to drive anymore
