Snow!

[frunk]

How quickly do they deal with snow in the area?  Would it be practical to leave an hour or two later to avoid the worst of it and let the road clearing crews take care of the worst of it?

Don't go speeding.

How long is the trip?

Its a rotating low pressure zone, been snowing all day there, slowly spreading into my area... the crews are fairly good and I don't expect problems on the main highway, but later on on the smaller roads...

Also the area is reported to be out of salt after 6-8 weeks of constant snow and frost.

The main issue is the drifts due to high winds... earlier, just south of the area affected now got 40-50 cm from the same front and have high winds

EDIT, ordinarily about 75 minutes. Dont worry I wont speed, but I fear gettin stuck on low cleareance of my car

I wouldn't go V. It's coming down quite heavy and there's lots of wind, there are reports that they need to employ the national guard (ATVs) to assist.

On top of that they're running short on salt (so they're skipping smaller roads) and Denmark has never nor will ever be properly equipped to clear roads in due time.

The local small road isn't a problem actually My father in law would love to bring out the tractor and pull me thourhg the last mile or so :p

But the main "Landevej" from the highway to the biroad is the issue

Driving at night through a blizzard to get to the inlaws?  That's a tough one.

[Liep]

It's been a while since I've seen Copenhagen like this and it's getting worse on thursday. When did we become Norway?

[Neil]

Why the fuck does  ahalf inch of snow need salting or plowing? 

I don't think they even bring out the sanding trucks for that little snow.

It doesn't get cold that far south.  When it snows, it melts on the ground and then eventually freezes as it piles up.

Falck har rykket ud flere gange på Lolland-Falster, hvor det har sneet i flere timer. Men ifølge kommunikationsmedarbejder Klaus Kristiansen har det primært drejet sig om »småting«.

»Foreløbig har det ikke været nær så slemt, som vi har set tidligere på vinteren under lignende vejrforhold. Det lader til, at folk er blevet vant til, at det sner, og at det er glat«.

Do not go. They are talking about a full blown snow storm, with wind of +10 m/s and 25cm snowfall, that means a lot of drifting snow and closed roads. And it will last to the early morning...

...doesnt seem to bad down there...yet...

[Liep]

Well, from my brief walk down Istedgade from Vega I can tell of two crashes already. Pakistani taxi drivers cannot handle snow apparently.

[Valdemar]

Well I arrived safely, wasn't too much hassle as long as I kept the speed no higher than 80

The last 500 meters my wife and father in law too their cr out to plow through the drifts, but actually the snow was far denser near Copenhagen and around Ringsted than it is down here....

Storm i et glas vand.
