Well, it turns out the region of Spain I am in didn't get
hit hard by the snow, but the business surely is.
They showed video of people in Madrid throwing snowballs at each
other in the streets. Ofcourse, the officials had to point out
"that's a social distancing problem". :/
Deliveries are getting blocked by snow since delivery
agencies have their trucks and roads blocked. This means I
have a bunch of packages laying around in some logistics
agency's warehouse, instead of travelling. At least one of
the packages was ordered by medical service witgh premium
less-than-6-hours delivery because they need them hard, and
the package is standing on my desk because the delivery
agency can't spare me a truck.
Delivery it via horseback! :D
Just as quickly as the snow and cold arrived HERE, it went away.
It is quite mild here now, -2C. The snow piles from about 2
weeks have diminished quite a bit and there has been no
significant refill.
Maybe you will have a sudden warm front move in shortly.
Also, the horse's water supply got frozen and I had to carry
the water to their barn with buckets from elsewhere.
Winter is the worst.
It sure is, especially when you have large farm animals. There
were several winters when the family would be tasked to carry
water from the house to the barn (roughly a 150ft trek one way)
in two buckets for each trip and for each cow. There were about
20 bovines at one point. (Three of us: mom, me and brother)
would have to get the task done before catching the schoolbus at
8a.
