Due to strong winds, the usual speed limitations are between St. Rok and Maslenica, Kikovica knots and Delnica on the Krk bridge.

Most of the schools won't work today as well where the snow is creating a lot of difficulties, and the Croatian army is helping the local residents.

Da pišem o 2m snijega, o životu na sjeveru, Muji u Kanada, nanosima i probijanju do najosnovnijeg za one koji ne mogu…. nema smisla. Snijeg pada, ima ga za izvoz, a sve ostalo će prekriti ružmarin i šaš. pic.twitter.com/py5RxMSeqi— Saša Vanek (@Vanexasha) February 23, 2018

The similar situation is on the roads in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The classes were stopped in the elementary school "Branko Copic" in Krupa on Una because of snow, while the local roads have been cleaned but they are not safe for traffic -  the head of municipality Mladen Kljajic said, reported by agencies.

- The classes were stopped in the areas of Busevic and Hasani - Kljajic said.

He said that the local roads are cleaned by citizens with tractors, but it is impossible to remove it all because of the amount of snow.

- Due to the enormous amounts of snow that fell earlier, it can't be cleaned well enough. The parts that are cleaned are to narrow for traffic - Kljajic said.

He said that they will ask for help from the municipality Novi Grad and the city of Prijedor, as well as from the administration of Civil Protection of Republika Srpska.
