Code Orange!
Feb. 3rd, 2012 11:49 amThe whole country is suddenly impressed with this snowfront that's rolling in from the North. No less than 5 centimeters is predicted to fall. It's not arrived here in the South yet, but it will only take half an hour or so (predictable reports from Dolphirl in Kaatsheuvel indicate it's just starting there).
Our trip to the Book Party in Nieuwegein is therefor canceled. Kreiz Oudenrijn is already comepletely blocked with traffic and snowflakes. The trains have changed their schedule and I truly hope that my bus will be able to pull through the muck once it gets started.
If not, NoKey will have an amply filled fridge for when he gets snowed in.
I am always a bit intrigued and baffled and offended that the whole coutry gets their boxers in a twist over a wee bit of snow. It usually takes about a week for them to get used to the situation and work out how to drive again. Public transport usually takes a bit longer to get off its ass.
I'm only worried for the ice skating we had planned for Monday. Snow will insulate so the ice won't grow thicker underneath and it needs to grow a few more centimeters for it to be safe enough to skate on.
Edited to add: this means I will have to bring my SLR camera EVERYWHERE from now on.
