Winter in Poland

[Bonobo]

Snow in Warsaw on 2 January.























Shelters for the homeless are full, corridors have to be adapted for accomodation sites.













In Silesia hail balls were as big as tennis balls. People who experienced it still haven`t gotten over the shock.

Those two people don't even know it is cold out, and there is snow on the ground. Love is great.

To me it looked like these beautiful couple just got married snowy outside.

How Romantic Wedding Day? She look like she is wearing her Wedding Dress and flowers headband.

Beautiful scenery.

[valpomike]

And they will be warm all night, that's for sure.

Just wait until winter gets there, than you will know snow.

Fro two weeks or more residents of villages near Krakow have been deprived of electricity as ice, frost and snow had damaged the cables at a rate that repairmen couldn`t make up with.

Cable








Broken cables

This could be the reason, here in the USA, many of the cables are under ground.

Yes, pics present great views but people living in those areas are not too happy to see them. They light candles and heat places with gas from kitchen cookers (unless they have fuel generators).

Yes, I understand it is horrible way for winter. I know we in Midwest in America are having problems too. Someday we might not need electric & gas company. I alway love to have fireplace burning, it is much warmer. I know some people do not use their gas company. They have fireplace instead. I don't know what will happen in summer, no one can't live without air conditioner. This will be worst summer too. Especially high rise buildings with elevators. I guess we all have to let natures take course.

Yes, we do have it underground. Not in Chicago, there are lot of posts with Telelphone, cables and some kind of wires.

As for underground, don't forget water main pipe break and we get flooding during winter which is bad.

Hey, it is not fair. You never congratulated me on my OWN photos which I took on the frozen Wisła River.

Nice images, it makes the Dutch winter less bad than I thought it was.

Yes, Western European winters are a bit milder (except for Scandinavia, of course).

I hate the wet could of Dutch winters, with rain in nearly freezing temperatures, snow, thaw, snow again, thaw, wet slippery, sluggish snow mixed with mud, snow and hail again, thaw and etc.

I like snow or real serious freezing when it stays for a while so that you can enjoy the snow or enjoy ice-skating on chanals, ponds and lakes.

It has been happening in Poland regularly lately, too. Last year the real winter lasted for a week or two, actually.
Sorry, Europe is Europe.

[pjotr]

Thank you Bo. Yes, Europe is Europe!

For the last few days, every morning I have been woken by the noise outside near my house. Caretakers or house owners remove ice and snow from sidewalks while drivers who leave their cars in the street or parking lots clean their windscreens. Winter causes problems, but it is still bearable, because Poland is used to such conditions, contrary to Western Europe where too much snow caused chaos again.

Winter in Wrocław:

Wonderful images of old Wroclaw.

Sometimes it gets harsh.

It has been freezing for a week, even as low as -25 C.
