Blizzards in Budapest


Flew back from London last night into what can only be described as a blizzard - about 2 inches of snow on the ground as the plane tried to land (luckily, no skidding) and then when I woke up this morning, it had snowed even more.
But, no trains were delayed, no roads were covered in snow and traffic gridlocked as a result - rather, all the footpaths were cleared (apparently it is an old Communist party law that no one has seen fit to do away with) and the roads were all gritted. Looks like it is set to continue - but living in the city centre, it has all melted however the view from the office I was in today is pretty good!
