Extreme weather conditions in Poland

Especially in North-West part:



Not much better on south:

Hundreds of road closures due to trees lying on the road, heavy snow, floods etc. Also widespread power cuts and severe delays on railways.

If someone heads that way and needs some advice, feel free to PM me and we’ll find what you need.

Apropos of nothing…

A Pole living in Bialystock was visited by a government official. “The border between Poland and Russia has been moved east; you are now living in Poland” he told him. Two years later the Pole was visited by another government official who told him “The border between Poland and Russia has been moved west; you are now living in Russia”. Three years later the Pole was visited by yet another government official who told him “The border between Poland and Russia has been moved east again; you are now living in Poland”. “Thank God” said the Pole, “I couldn’t stand another Russian winter.”.

The same goes for Slovakia: snowing in the north (up to 30cm at some places in 1day), sleet elsewhere, freezing rain at places, VERY WINDY - so windy that empty and lightly loaded lorries are rolled over or blown off road.
The road 50 Roznava-Kosice is notorious for lorries overturned by wind - the police close it at times.
