Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow ...

The stretch of SS 609 at Avezzano completely blocked at 6.00 this morning.


The snow is beautiful.

But when you're on a bus, Christmas, on a highway (alternate route recommended by the Traffic Police) and the snow covers it for more than 50 cm, only pray that stops snowing.

That 's what happened to me tonight. Locked

Avezzano-Sora on SS 609 for a smart alternative route A1.

Furbo in Florence because although there was a civil protection bestow hot meals and blankets to cars stuck-at Incisa Valdarno, we decided to procrastinate Adriatica, exit at Pescara and take the Abruzzi Apennines.

Finding so much snow in Florence (60 m above sea level, Avezzano 695 m above sea level) but not the civil protection.

So, at the mercy of the weather, we and a handful of cars were leaving us play from the white purity.

Scene beyond every able-bodied imagination: our bus across the street, a car with four arrows in the wrong, the trucks stopped side by side (leaving space suitable for overcome a beetle) , civil protection (two poor shivering) fitted with only shovels, snow thrower who could not reach.

Everything from 4.00 to 7.00 in the morning.

Around 6:00 our Calabrian drivers, always equipped with such strength of will, but with balls full sacrosanct, have formed a little group of bold young and have started to move, by dint of shoving, and helped by the spades of our operativissimo duo of civil protection, the cars that littered the transition.

Within half an hour the road was clear, allowing the free passage of the snow thrower. Long live the South working force.

Meanwhile, unable to crush a nap, I followed the bus on a radio program volunteer and I decided to intervene directly.

I talk about my volunteer work in kennels, of what we do and how it is organized. And a quarter of an hour gone with my Warholian 15 minutes and deserved the glory.

Viva Motorways for Italy, ANAS, AISCAT Anvedististronzi which are increasingly unprepared damn it snows every winter.

Viva la Protection Civile that because of cuts in all possible funds has to offer just a couple of spades.

Viva la bus companies that had to fit snow chains to a car, not a bus. Viva

the south: do not ever get discouraged and as always confirmed to be those that solve everybody's problems.
