That's v cool! Presumably snow ploughs have been through before. At about 0:29 it seems like the cameraman thinks he's being chased by the snow truck Is that a Montreal accent? Sounds almost New Yoik to me.

People have been complaining here since it seems like the roads in Bremen have not been cleared at all. People here are not used to snow anyway.

LOL, Kye. Indeed. Why would anyone film snow removal unless it is incidental to other events?

People have been complaining here since it seems like the roads in Bremen have not been cleared at all. People here are not used to snow anyway. The same situation prevails here. Snow is rare enough that investing in adequate snow removal equipment is not advised. The result is a small amount of snow successfully tangles traffic for hours. But then, snow events of seriousness sufficient to last more than a few hours are even more rare. The result is that the wise decision is just to wait it out. At home, preferably. We just had an inch of snow, which was not bad, but it was followed with a topping of a quarter inch of ice. That was dangerous. We sat it out.

I haven't hit a groove, yet. Because of the snow, then ice, I only got out for the first time today.
I have tracked down a free Tai Chi class at the edge of the neighborhood, though. I thought that was a success.
Have the rains slacked in your neck of the world?

The administration of the city claimed they did actually have the roads cleared and all the complaining wasn't fair. But seriously, I haven't seen a single road that had been cleared from the snow. I saw a small vehicle clearing some snow from the high street in the city centre when I left work around 8 pm. At that time, all the shops was closed and there was hardly anyone there. Didn't make much sense at that time, not in the city centre. The main roads were still full of snow and ice.

It seems easy enough to document and provide evidence against the specious claims of bureaucrats.
