-13*C !!!!

I apologize for yet another post about weather - but that is what our life has revolved around the past few days.  It has been known to be cold in Split, especially when the wind {Bura} blows in from the NE off the mainland and chills you right down to the bone.  

But snow? ice on the roads? Bura's older and meaner cousin, Tramontana (great word eh?) gusts & blows? 

All's good and well in cities where this is normal.  But here!

25cm of snow + freezing conditions overnight + little to no snow-cleaning equipment (both citizens & city) = skating rinks for sidewalks + empty shelves in grocery stores + angry locals + so many unavoidable broken bones & accidents.

The city is paralyzed.  And they're calling for more snow tonight and even colder temperatures for the rest of the week.  

Brrrr....
