Snow joke

It was with a little schadenfreude that I witnessed Sweden fall to pieces this week as the first snowfall unleashed complete chaos, both in Gothenberg and Stockholm. The train journey between the two normally takes 3 hours, but for me it was six, 2 of which were spent at a standstill. Something fell on the line apparently, but not sure if it was something besides just snow. In Stockholm, several inches fell late afternoon and soon after the roads were ice. People had to walk miles home as the tube and buses came to a halt and many people were stranded at the airport all night as the train and taxis were not running. The roads were literally ice. Anyone would have thought they had never seen snow before.
