snow chaos - trapped in frankfurt

I normally go to work to Darmstadt by S-Bahn. However sometimes I also have great ideas and take my car. For instance on this day I decided out of the blue to drive to Darmstadt. No problem. At around 10-ish it began to snow in big flakes and it wouldn't stop!!! In the afternoon the radio news were full of the trafic jams on the highways (4 hours and more).



So I stayed late and drove home only after 8 o'clock. After an adventourous 1.5 hours on my way home I got into the mood of taking the first train out of frankfurt into the mountains of austria for a bit of snowboarding. Unfortunately all the trains were sold out. Well - OK, another weekend in frankfurt...
