Wednesday Denmark got a healthy dose of snow storm. Considering the northern latitude, this should probably not come as a big surprise in February, but somehow it always does - especially to the Danish Railways.

Wednesday evening they actually announced, that they thought people should seek other means of transportation and of course local Police thought people should not to go out unless absolutely necessary.

Back on Bornholm, I seem to remember, that we got about half a meter's worth of snow in a snow storm every other year, roads and schools closed and the like, but I don't remember people panicking over it the way they do in Copenhagen?

Getting on buses and trains is a nightmare with all those morons standing in the way, too busy worrying about themselves to notice that they're obstructing what could have been an easy flow. I mean, if they're so concerned about being late for whatever they're late for - work presumably - maybe they should've got out of bed half an hour earlier?!

At any rate, we've been promised more snow today and on Friday it'll all disappear - that'll be the end of this winter.
