Went for a walk. The weather is brutal outside, indeed. I lasted only half an hour. During that time, I only met a group of people once – but they were in full ski gear, with goggles, good footwear, etc. I encountered only two cars that were NOT snowplows, and about 30 snowplows. One of these two cars is in a photo – it got stuck right in front of me. It didn’t have much choice – there’s nowhere to park cars, and all the driveways into courtyards are too deep.
There’s a very strong icy wind with snow outside. My glasses almost immediately lose visibility because they get iced over.
Probably no need to mention that nothing at all works in the city – not even worth saying. Stores, pharmacies, cafes – all are not just closed, of course, but also buried under snowdrifts about a meter high. You can only walk on roads that are cleared. And now, that’s mainly highway centers. By the way, it’s a rare occasion when one can walk down the highway right in the middle of the road. If a rare SUV passes by, it will go very slowly, and even then, it’s most likely workers.
