If something can happen it will.

Last night and in the morning we had the first severe storm of the season.
A woman was so clever yo park her bike close to the building. The front tyre was bent






Well in the afternoon the depression changed into a nasty one. In the eye of it was a cloudless sky but 100 kilometer south was snow. A constant flow of clouds with snow made traffic come to a halt. In the east of the country fell 15 centimeters of fresh snow. Trains and cars stranded and people had to wait for hours in their car for help. They got blankets to stay warm. One endless stream of cars, 70 kilometers in the east. Some accidents and immediately 20 k traffic-jam behind my house.
Teletext says that 700 kilometer, the radio mentioned 800 kilometer.
On a certain moment there was a single traffic-jam of 90 k in the south.
This is a damned traffic attack I spoke about, bad for the economy, environment and bad for health of people.

It's a complete chaos on the road and on the Veluwe (a forestry area in the middle of Holland) people are still waiting in their car.
Always thought that those situations won't happen here. The truth is it's happening.
