my mother-in-law is from a small village outside Pitesti, about an hour or two from Bucharest. we've heard that she is snowed in, in Pitesti at a relative's apartment, been there for about a week now. my husband is worried about his Grandmother, who is in his hometown village completely stranded. i've heard the snow is quite high, to the tops of windows in some cases. that it's a national disaster.
i hope the snow melts soon and that people are not too cold. i don't know how you get firewood in such a situation. my guess is that you just don't get wood. which is awful to think about.
keep warm and hang in there, in Romania! been there 4 times.
