We have a similar situation, especially after heavy snowfall, it is difficult to move upward even if the majority of cars have winter tires. After a heavy snowfall is often the case that certain roads are almost impassable, because they block the trucks that got stuck in the snow.

Not so long ago we had a similar situation in Warsaw, just everything stood, huge traffic jams and chaos on the streets. You could only travel light rail and trams.

This is the real winter, very well reported, Ken, V
