Snow? Again? Really?!

Barely hanging on

The big thaw has started and falling snow off the buildings has created walking in the residential areas into a Russian roulette. Hopefully house owners of this house are aware of the snow:

Heavy load

The trees in front of my office have quite a difficulty holding their branches with the heavy load of snow on them:

Got snow?

A lil' bit of snow covered Zagreb last night, 15-20in, which caused MAJOR traffic collapse, as our 200+ winter plows were surprised... again... after several days of prior warnings by our meteorologists. They even closed Zagreb's ski center since there was too much snow :-). Go figure...

Anyhow, as usual, terrible winter conditions provide great photo-ops. Here's one (the woman walking in front is tall - I'm guessing around 5ft 8''):

Serenity

There's nothing more serene than nightfall and watching the snow slowly cover everything. The city background noises are minimal and you can practically hear snowflakes touch the ground.

Needless to say, my romantic POV will not be so romantic tomorrow morning as I dread going to work in this weather....

Defying gravity

Icicles seemingly defying gravity:

Snow!

A back alley near the local power station, bright white fresh snow squeaking under my boots (taken on Dec 9th)... I love winter!

The winter is finally over...

This view is gone until the next winter:

Snow!

Today's weather can only be described as nuts... the day started off with temperatures around 14C (57F), only to change completely to close to freezing, with hail, rain and in the end - snow:

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, not snow AGAIN!!!!!!

I don't know about you, but I'm getting sick of the snow this year. It's mid-March and we got a foot of snow in Zagreb alone and it's still falling like mad! Apparently, storms like these in mid-March happened in Zagreb twice before, the first time in 1963. and the second time in mid '80s but that one wasn't as violent as this one and the one in 1963.





The rest of Croatia is not in any better position, especially the coastal part battling winds reaching 200kmph/125mph...

Snowy top

Sljeme, still covered with snow and Medvedgrad fortress zoomed in from the lake:

It's always greener on the other side

Too heavy

Sticking out

Let it snow, let it snow,....

It's snowing again! :) Here's a photo from my bedroom window:

Waiting for better days

You can usually find local elderly people playing cards or chess at this bench. Now it's just waiting for warmer and dry weather...

Who let the dogs out?!

Would you want to be walking your dog in this weather? This photo was taken on Saturday....

The road less traveled by....
