The first snow of the year has arrived, painting the world outside in soft, fleeting white. Snowflakes dance against the windowpane, a gentle reminder of the festive season creeping closer. Yet, for many of us, the magic fades as quickly as it arrives, overshadowed by the steady hum of work. Perhaps it’s only when a long-awaited winter vacation beckons that we truly pause to appreciate the quiet wonder of these icy messengers.
Sadly, the first snow of the year brought more than just a winter wonderland — it served as a stark reminder of the need for preparation. Roads quickly turned chaotic as drivers on summer tires struggled to navigate, leading to multiple accidents and blocked routes. Long queues formed at mechanic shops as people scrambled to switch to winter tires. Meanwhile, several electric buses, unable to cope with the sudden change, were left stranded by the roadside. A beautiful yet sobering start to the season.
P.S – The police are reminding people to stop taking pictures of accidents and then sharing them on social media. It is illegal.
