Europe-ERA, are you ok? It's snowing...
- Thread starter Saya

Snowing here in the Netherlanda last time in the state (near The Hague) i live was quite a while ago, last year was mostly wet snow only. So it's nice to see some proper snow and snowing again.
Only thing is the busses, trains, planes and trams always have problems here when weather gets bad wich is a shame really, since in other countries it's mostly handled fine and right preperations are made on time to avoid huge delays.

Some lighter snow with some rain here in the south of Finland.
I wish it would snow a bunch already I want to go sledding with my daughter. But from what it seems this might be the norm for the winter. Snow definitely helps brighten the short days and long dark nights.

Plenty of times in the US I saw full sheets of ice from the roof of cars sliding off with the wind on to incoming traffic, as well as a flurry of snow blowing from it. I completely agree.
I'll up it one more tho. Only in Troy NY did I ever experience the wrath of me shoveling my car out nicely, clearing sidewalks, while most neighbors would not, and saw cars rock themselves out of the snow where they were parked to park on the clear spot I had just shoveled. The fury. They didn't shovel at all... just go park where it's already nice and clear.
Glad this doesn't happen where I am at so far. Finland seems to be pretty good at adding the gravel and sand everywhere, and they keep the roads nice and clear. I don't stumble on my way to anywhere because people didn't shovel their sidewalks. So good.
Autobahn A 4 yesterday around 2PM,

1000 km of traffic jams in Belgium at the moment (officialy: highways where speed is below 50km/h). Lol. Rush hour tonight will be a disaster. I hope my evening class gets cancelled because of it, because I don't feel like going out in this. (School is a bikeride away, so it's not the traffic jam, but the slush and cold and snow I'd like to avoid :P)
When it snowed to weeks ago it was the only day of the month I had to work away from home, and it took me 3 hours to drive 30km. Just my luck.

Snowed a bit here (north-western Italy), like 3-4 cm, yet still it causes an incredible amount of traffic. And I live in a small city.
Yup, it seems it has no intention of stopping too. Been snowing for hours here, and the snow on the street (there isn't much traffic in my neighbourhood, as it's all dead-end streets) is in places almost as high as the elevated sidewalk now.
view from my appartment:
Seems like the snow wanted to stay in the North. Nothing here in Western Austria. Yesterday it's been quite windy and slightly below zero, which isn't really that nice. Today the foehn wind is even stronger, but it's +10°C already (and supposed to go up to +15°C), so that's something.
Ha, as a German native speaker, I can somewhat understand what you wrote there. "On days like these it's nice to work from home. (Well, that's always the case.)", if I read that correctly ;)

Right now there's a traffic jam of 1.300 km total in Belgium. Holy fuck
Looks about the same here

I am in Switzerland and we had a lot of snow but it's just been raining for the last 24 hours solid and the snow is slowly being washed away, until it snows again in a couple of days I assume!
Haha, exactly. I wanted to add the hashtag #nopantsinthehomeoffice, but refrained as I actually do wear pants while working. In winter at least.
Snow is coming thicker and thicker here by the way. Just got an email a courier is bringing a package I ordered, and now I feel slightly guilty.
Google Maps looks fun right now:
Basically one big traffic jam from the coast to the Ruhr area in Germany.
Lol. What's tiny for you completely disrupts Belgian society. 1300 km of traffic jams. My evening class got cancelled. ...
Still snowing here btw, not gonna let up for the remainder of the day it seems.
Southern France here: Rain, rain, wind and rain. It hasn't stopped for over two days now, and the metro wasn't operating this morning. This is the worst possible outcome.
