As everybody knows, snow is the solid aggregation form of water. Snow is usually the reason for children's joy, a symbol of purity, a blessing for the future crop.
Yet, it can also be a terrible danger for people's life and everyday life if the quantity depasses certain limits. This happened in the south of Romania where there were (maybe still are) houses in the villages burried under the snow for six, seven days.
There is now a solidarity campaign for helping these people with food, water, burning wood, clothes and any kind of assistence. The most difficult is to get to them digging into the thick snow. Everyday we see and hear very touching stories about the rescuers' victories and sometimes about their defeats, too.
Latest news: it is snowing and will keep on snowing for another two days. There's no way to get to Bucharest by train or car but we still hope to attend the project meeting in Turkey.
