So Snowstorm started here Saturday night around 10:30 p.m. GMT +2. At first it was melted as soon as it hit the ground cause it was only 3 degrees Celsius. Well it is now Monday, I'm not sure exactly how much snow was dumped on us from Saturday until sometime early this a.m. But I've got snow drifts in excess of 7 ft. high. It's not snowing now, but the wind is blowing at around 50 km/hr with gusts up to 70 km/hr. in the roads the snow is at least 2 ft. deep. Roads throughout the entire "state" or county of Tulcea are closed. Schools are closed today and tomorrow, and will probably be closed Wednesday as well. My kids are getting cabin fever, they keep asking if they walk the 1 km down to the store, for what I have no clue, as we don't need anything. But I don't go out in this unless it's to grab more wood for the fire, or to shovel the snow from around the house, especially the front door.
Snow completely covered my bedroom windows this morning. It was kinda cool the way it stuck, cause it looked as if it had been swagged. But I had to get out there this am.m and clean it off. I don't like this kind of weather, especially where I am out in the country. The reason, local officials are NOT at all worried with cleaning the roads to make them passable, especially for emergency vehicles. The laws clearly state that they must do that, but don't. 2 years ago, we had a similar snow storm and at around 1 in the morning my neighbors house caught fire. Fire trucks couldn't get up to the house to put out the fire because the roads were impassable. She lost nearly everything. That scared me, cause what if it had been a medical emergency, like one of my kids severely injured???? My oldest is now bigger than I am. I'm about 5'4", she's 13 and 5'7". I weigh about 115 lbs, she's probably right around 100 lbs. I would not be able to carry her through 4-5 ft. snow drifts, 1 km downhill to meet an ambulance at the main road. There are several older people up here on the hill around me, what about them? We all pay our taxes, so what are they doing with the money? It looks like government officials all have new cars, nice homes and or apartments, which are completely renovated to be modern, with new shiny furniture, and nice new clothes.
Perhaps I shouldn't have bought a house on country roads you might say, but why should I be denied rights, because I loved the house, and the property and the exquisite view of the Danube I have?!? Like I said, we pay our taxes, we have no back taxes or unpaid bills anywhere, well, I'm a little behind on getting my water bill paid, but only because I generally can't find anyone in the office when I go to try to pay it.
Anyway, rant over, snow is pretty and all that, but dang it makes country life hard. Once it starts to warm up, and the snow starts to melt, it's gonna be UGLY! I'll be dealing with mud for a month or so. So basically I will not be able to drive to my house till probably late March or early April! Ugggghhhh......gag me with a spoon.
Okay, so rant wasn't over, but it is now. If you're reading this from my home state of Louisiana, I'm jealous! Eat some crawfish for me will, ya please?!? If you're in a cold, snowy climate like me, sorry. Stay inside where it's warm, cause Baby, it's cold outside!

Golly, Odessa, that sounds a bit like winter life in West Virginia, when it comes to country roads being graded. Stay warm.
