Romania – Buzau County closed by severe blizzard – 2 meters of snow in some places

More than 100 roads closed

“Severe winter crushed media’s little “global warming party”, says reader Alex Tanase. “After the warmest December in 50 years, winter came back in Romania big time. We have orange code for blizzard in almost half of the country (Southern Romania). Over 100 roads and schools in several counties are closed. Wind blowing with 80 km/h gusts, snow two meters (almost 7 ft) in some places.”

Red code for snow and blizzard for 3 counties: Braila, Buzau and Vrancea.
