Winter in Poland

No one was expecting that this year winter will be so annoying.  Till mid January the temperature was pretty ok, not going below zero, no snow and everyone seems to be happy with this. Synoptics were predicting rapid decrease in temperature but when the thermometers showed 15 degrees below zero on January 15th everyone’s wish was to be warm again. Unfortunately, day after day was getting worse and worse, the temperature was dropping down. Near the end of January during the day we had twenty degrees below zero, at night in some locations bars indicated -35. As a result of this many schools were closed as it wasn’t possible to keep the constant air temperature in the classrooms. Number of people could not get to work on time as a result of frozen cars and number of issues with public communication.  Even ski passes were closed which was worrying young people spending their winter holidays in ski resorts. Once the frosts began to fall whole Poland was covered by thick layer of snow and again the traffic in whole country was paralyzed. We had number of collisions each day and accidents due to very slippery roads. Luckily for all of us, the winter seems to be forgiven, meteorologists predict that spring is coming.
