Snow in Alabama

Ryan — Sat, 19 Jan 2008 22:20:00 +0000

So it’s not that exciting for me, but the locals are going crazy. We ended up with a dusting. Even the gas station on the corner closed for the weather.

This is snow between the apartment blocks I live in.

Just across the street from me is a kick-ass community center with a workout room, basketball courts, a pool, hot tub, walking track, raquetball courts, etc. The whole thing is only $130 per year for residents (over $300/year for non-residents). It was closed early because, as you can see from the picture, the massive amounts of snow would have prevented anyone from getting to the front door.

My apartment building. Not very exciting, but I figured I’d put it up anyway.

Clearing the Snow

We’ve had some snow in Bulgaria over the last few weeks and the cities’ Roma tram/bus stop clearing crew were always out in full force. At on one of the bus stops they were chipping the ice from waiting area as well as between the road and the curb. The result was large clumps of ice being generated. Now most people would shovel the ice into a pile on the side. However, and I have seen this fairly regularly in Sofia, this crew was tossing the clumps of ice into the street – a major thoroughfare into the city. Cars passing the area were forced to swerve, slow down or otherwise take defensive measures to keep from hitting the large clumps of ice. The cleaning crew didn’t even notice. In fact they nearly hit several cars by shoveling ice clumps into the street as cars were passing. It was all an interesting sight from the safety of my tram window.

Work crews clearing the snow from the sidewalks on Vitosha Blvd. – the main shopping street in Sofia. Multiple Bulgarians have commented that they have never seen the city put forth any effort in previous years to clear snow off the sidewalks.
