It's ridiculous, I spent 3 hours to traval 30km by train... just barely made it in time and had to miss out on the dinner arrangement because of this...
Hell I hear that In places like Norway the trains only get slowed down if there's 2 meters of snow....

And tomorrow I'm going to have to go to work by train, joy of joys... not that that's a big issue, I'd rather miss work than an opera I paid good money to see..

thankfully I did enjoy the opera and maybe, if the snow lasts until the weekend I might appreciate it as well.

sorry to snow on your parade, just had to get that off my chest....

What opera?
