There are layers of ice on the street, and I almost fell down three times walking the 100 meters to my metro stop.
I had to walk around obstacles such as fallen tree branches.
Monday night the metro shut down during rush hour for 2 hours. Buses and ferrocarrils (another fancy word for metro trains) shut down completely. The government ordered reduced rates in all hotels for the stranded commuters who could not get home. Girona, a city two hours away, lost all its electricity.
I’m just happy my Tuesday morning class got canceled, but that meant more time to work on studio stuff...
But then Plaza Catalunya and all of southern Barcelona was gorgeous with no sign of snow...
*relatively speaking
at least you didn't miss out on snow this semester!! it was awesome when we had so many days off from it, but i was definitely soured after having to trudge thru it so many weeks. i was so happy to get back from break today and see it gone.
