To znaczy zdarzaja sie ale tylko sporadycznie. Przynajmniej jezdnie, szosy i trasy sa regolarnie odsniezane. Tak tez jak i chodniki przy prawie wszystkich posesjach nie mowiac juz o firmach.<br /><br />Moj polowek tubylec klal jak przyslowiowy szewc z powodu warunkow na drogach na kazdym zimowym urlopie w Polsce.<br /><br />Nie wiem dlaczego zachowanie wobec sniegu jest tak rozne w obu, badz co badz, sasiadujacych krajach.<br />Moze jest to sprawa kar? U nas mogly by byc dotkliwe w przypadku gdyby ktos sobie cos zlamal na oblodzonej powierzchni ktora powinna w danym czasie i sytuacji byc juz odsniezona.<br />Pozdrawiam serdecznie DoroAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489825674468647913.post-47814627674084082952010-12-17T13:11:45.992+01:002010-12-17T13:11:45.992+01:00Thanks for this, Chris.

There are ...In Finland it is shockingly efficient. There are entire teams of snowplows. There are large snowplows that plow the streets, and smaller ones that plow sidewalks and parking lots. Then there are separate trucks that dump sand on both the roads and sidewalks. These intrepid snowplowing folk are often out at 5 am, plowing away while the rest of us are still sleeping. Winter tires are required by law from October through March. I've lived here for 10 years and the idea of a snow day is a joke. There are no snow days in Finland. Finns scoff at snow days. Ha! Ha ha! But you know, what do you expect this far north?Sabrinanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489825674468647913.post-21497211226950242762010-12-14T22:03:36.295+01:002010-12-14T22:03:36.295+01:00Sorry, no snow down here.

And my husband even enjoys to shovel the snow from the driveway (because it happens only once or twice).<br />And what's funny for me (Polish girl who used to drive in Poland during winter) that almost everyone in my office (in PA) is so scared of driving when it is snowing. And for me it's not a problem because somehow magically(?) all the roads are black. Or almost black. ;)<br /><br />matali<br />PS.

Or I will just pretend it wasn't to me!;))<br />I will answer anyway ;) When I was in England last winter, there was maybe an inch of snow when the huge panic started. I am used to snow, so I went to work (had a proper hiking shoes though, they are great for snow!), and when I arrived - there were maybe 3 people in the office. And the lady was screaming all the time that: oh my, this is a disaster! What will we do, that is such a tragedy! Buses stopped working in few hours, there was maybe a ft of snow by the end of the day. We walked back home, my friends in pretty work shoes (you have no idea how many times I saved their lifes). People were leaving their cars on streets, it was pretty much like the end of the world. Like Kasia says, it's pretty much the same, they do not clean pavements, streets, they don't know what 'sniego-piaskarka' is :) <br />If we'd have a war with the UK - we could win easily bu sending them some snow.<br /><br />And in the same time in Texas.... :D Ok, I'm quiet now!Rinonkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17001086188160239566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489825674468647913.post-48224801484004750312010-12-14T16:51:27.059+01:002010-12-14T16:51:27.059+01:00NYC doesn't have so much snow, but we do get s...NYC doesn't have so much snow, but we do get some quite snow storms kind of twice a year. There is one almost every year around Mangnificent's B'day:)) (Feb.13th) But I have to admit the City takes good care and everybody is showeling not only for themselves.

My OH wasn't even able to get to the car, not to mention getting it of our street :( They don't clear the snow, only on the really main routes (which M8 between Edinburgh and Glasgow is clearly not). They do not clear the snow of the pavements and they don't use sand, just grit and not on most pavements. They close the schools, offices, roads and airports and the posts office and delivery services simply tell you they can't deliver. Buying winter tyres or snow chains is close to impossible. Poland is not that bad :)Kasiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18393021637570243668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489825674468647913.post-14307872284749033602010-12-14T16:34:49.466+01:002010-12-14T16:34:49.466+01:00in france they don't. they just close the road...in france they don't. they just close the roads.dshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17275940305353709678noreply@blogger.com
