Everyone remembers what was happening on the streets of the city of Volgograd a week ago. A lot of snow precipitation fell, the situation on the roads reminded of what was in mid -November. Heaps of snow blocked cars in the yards, on parking lots, interfered with motorists on the roads. Public transport could not cope with the flow of passengers in a hurry to work, a taxi could not serve everyone. Last Tuesday, many were late for important meetings, being in a snow captive.
This time, snowploring equipment reacted faster than in past snowfalls, perhaps the fact that the amount of precipitation was less affected. Powerful front -line loaders helped clean the roadsides from snow, wheel trucks hardly managed to take the heaps collected in the body. Help in snow cleaning in the yards is a delicate question. A large number of expensive cars significantly complicates the collection of snow. It is easier for public services to refuse snow cleaning than to make payments for damaged by bulldozers Giant cars. Dear foreign cars that can be seen in the yards are of particular value. But, despite this fact, most yards were removed within three days after snowfall. Of course, access to the side of the road was not open everywhere, but the main passage was cleaned. Allocated assistance was provided by the residents of the courtyards and janitors, armed with improvised means, metal shovels, car blades and scoops.
Now, a week after snowfall, the position on the roads has improved markedly. In most places you can drive through dry asphalt even in the yards. But it is worth noting that the assembled heaps of snow on the side of the road are melting, and since the air temperature at night drops below zero, the ice forms, which is held on the road until dinner, until the air temperature rises. In the near future, snowfalls are not expected, but the air temperature will be supplied below zero for a long time, so the formation of ice on the roads inevitably.
