Hoping for Snow
Yes, that's very unusual for me. I don't much like the cold white stuff.
But I'm supposed to drive to Galati tomorrow, and frankly, I don't want to. I had three hours of driving Romanian roads on Monday, five hours on Tuesday, and seven hours -- two of them in blinding, can't-see-the-marks-on-the-road snow -- yesterday. My enthusiasm for driving in Romania, never high, is at an all-time low. And it's a 3+ hour drive to Galati, each way.
But they've invited the prefect of the judet, which is sort of like a US state governor, to meet us. So we can't simply beg off.
Oh, well.
If we do go, I want to look at the Danube. Galati is right before the Danube Delta, and the river is supposed to be over a mile wide there. Watch this space.

In Constanta a very big wind is blowing etc.
Watch the news - meteo.
Well, the weather predicted "some" snow "later in the day". Not gale force winds in the morning, and blizzard conditions by late afternoon.
Still: next time we'll pay more attention.
