Loads of snow deep and crisp and even average temp -7 thaw not yet set in so walking on it is not unpleasant, sea is frozen. interestingly the city has not ground to a halt, couple of dodgy days but for example the refuse lorries were working 24/7 to clear the backlog after the Hols, I saw them twice outside the flat at 2 and 3 in the am on a Sunday no less.
Yesterday had to go out for something. There were on one road gangs of 30 or so workers breaking up the impacted snow clearing the pavements.Trams buses and trains all have kept running, snow and bad weather doesn't appear to be a big deal here. A slight inconvenience maybe, of course I can only speak of what I see in the city how things are further inland I don't know But, from scenes on the telly people just get on with it. I do know the cold has brought problems folks do freeze to death gas main do fracture the incidents of traffic accidents does increase, but then there are stupid carless drivers in UK too.
John, so descriptive and beautiful photos.
