I recently talked to a customer about the snowfall in Peter. He runs a fairly large enterprise and participates in regular meetings with the district administration, which gather about all of our natural disasters. He told me a little about the specifics of these activities. First, indeed, he told about his colleague from Germany, who faced the same problem in 2010, when Europe was plunged by snow. We also had snow on our ears and my acquaintance asked how they lived there. “We live well. The kids like it,” the German replied. “In the sense, is it great? It all collapsed. Neither to pass nor to pass. Has life not stopped?” “Well, we did a couple of days on weekends. Then the soldiers came with their equipment and cleaned everything. “In your factory?” And in the factory too. They cleaned up and removed the snow. We work as usual.” “How much did it cost you?” In other words, at what time? They are military. We pay taxes, and in such situations they save the situation everywhere. No extra money is taken from us for this.”

And Peter, you know how? The employer asked me.

– How to?

We were gathered for a meeting on the snow collapse in the city. And here is one deeply respected by me until this point official says, addressing us: "Lord, let us put that snow, which we can not take out of the city, on the territories of your enterprises? And in the spring it grows itself.” Do you understand? The Germans pay taxes and during the fucking to them military, like the angels of heaven are, and they all ruin only if they continue to work and pay taxes. And we - throw in all the holes, and even snow from all over the city want to fall in full seriousness.

That’s all he said about 2010. But, judging from what’s happening in the city, nothing has changed since then.
