Day 474 - The Big Snow




After more than 24 hours of heavy snow and hard wind the south part of Romania is almost blocked under 50-100 cm of snow. The highway linking the country capital - Bucharest - to the Black Sea is closed. Many other roads are blocked. The ports at Black Sea are closed. Trains and flights are delayed indefinitely. Over 100 small cities and villages were cut from electricity. There is simply too much snow in a very short period of time. And the weather reports are alarming: temperatures up to minus 20 degrees Celsius are to be expected in the next 24 hours. These are images from this morning around my house.
