Trafic jam

It snow again in The Netherlands. Pretty early in November if you ask me. you must imagine that some years it doesn’t snow at all. That’s why our country cant handle these weather conditions.
I always find it an amazing sight. The romantic feel of the cold you see out side through the window where you and your friends are enjoying a nice hot cup of coffee or chocolate milk. The feel you get when walking trough the snow. You must know what I mean… the crunchy snow under your feet.
Anyway the downside to it all that it was an apocalyptical chaos in our country. Roads where close plains weren’t flying, trains weren’t riding. People held up in train stations or in there cars. The snow kept falling and the army was handing out blankets warm drinks and gasoline for the stranded.

I had a traffic jam for over 3 hours..(that’s nothing compared to the people that are still in it 12 hours later). But you have that mutual feeling where people are in the same situation. Thank god for mobile phones so we could have some chat how bad it all was. Who’s gonna sit it out and who turned around, to sit in the traffic jam heading homewards. The phone companies reported that there was such an incensement of network use that they had problems processing it. Well I had trouble processing my first coffee when I arrived mere that 3 hours late on my work.
