How the Hurricane Xavier paralysed Poland

I know that almost everything have already been said, that the meteorologists have analysed all of the weather aspects connected with that phenomenon, but I don't want to bore you with that. I'd like to share with you some of my reflections after all. Let's start.

I understand the Americans. I really do. They don't see the snow very often. The paralysed USA doesn't surprise me. But Poland? In December we always have a lot of snow and a strong wind. Why the snow, annonced with avance by the meteorologists, surprised us?

When I read that our railways are going to provide some tea for the passengers, I was amused. Why didn't they prepare their trains and tractions? Why a hurricane become a new reason for the trains to be late? Are they justified?

Last weekend proved that we can travel 9 hours instead of 3 and we have no right to be disgusted - after all, it was a hurricane!

Some people didn't have the electricity for even 3 days! The reason given by the media is that there weren't enough workers. Why didn't they hire some new employees for these 2-3 days...?

There are some things I can't really understand. But I'll bet that when the real winter comes, we also won't be prepared and our country will be paralysed without the impact of any hurricane.

And what about you? How long did you travel last weekend?
