Turning Point

Winter Solstice, the shortest day, longest night, as and from today the days get longer, a slight thaw forecast for the next couple of days, then back to snow and ice.Total chaos here, railways virtually at a standstill, Shops and Petrol stations running out of food and supplies because the Trucks were forbidden to move. Schools shut, all flatroofed buildings restricted because of the weight of snow. Busses and Trams virtually at a standstill.Side roads not cleared and are virtually blocked or very treacherous,Salt for the roads either run out or close to it. Who says Germany is well organised?
