We were finally able to take out the sled for Solomiya to use. It is so much easier to pull her through the snow than to use the stroller. And it's faster than walking with her, as she tends to stop every 2 feet to inspect something!
So, this is our new method of transport to and from the grocery store.
It's unusual here for sidewalks to be cleared of snow, unless it is in front of a store or business. That means the sidewalks are perfect for a sled.
It's so cool to see other people pulling little kids on sleds all over the city- we definitely would not see this in the part of the US we are from.
Mike has had a lot of fun driving on the snowy streets, also. I've heard rumors of some plows clearing the roads, but I have yet to see any in action (or any evidence).
Mike drove yesterday to another city about 1 1/2 hours away with a couple of volunteers from the Jewish Ministry to drop off supplies to an elderly, home bound Jewish man. He said on the way there, the roads were slippery, but on the way back to Uzhhorod the temperature warmed up enough to just make the roads slushy.
