Winter has returned here in Ostrava, albeit rather briefly. Woke up to a bit of snow outside and it’s forecast to snow off-and-on for the rest of the day.

As a result, a lot of people have stayed home from work, at least in areas where public transportation isn’t as efficient as in the metropolitan areas. For example, a student of mine, who can’t get out of her driveway. She’s not a happy camper, to say the least.
