What to do. As a virtual traveller I can either follow ‘local’ conditions or just ignore them and get on with the trip. In the UK the weather conditions are about freezing, just plus temperatures in most places. Heavy snow in some.
In Bucharest, Romania, where I arrived two days ago, it has been subzero weather of -20c or so. People are dying here and many main roads and travel services have been shutdown. I found that my route out on Wednesday morning was closed, as were many other main roads, and the amazing webcam scenes said it all. This weather calls for chains on the wheels and a good heater in the camper. I found a hotel online that had an underground car park, so this morning I set off south towards Turkey and, hopefully, warmer weather and a clearer road.
