The Day After Tomorrow in Ukrainian: from Kherson to Kiev.

The last few days Ukraine reeling from snowy weather. Winter, as always, came to Ukraine suddenly. Thousands of Ukrainians were blocked in their cars across the country. Hundreds of thousands were unable to get to their destination. Among the latter were also my wife.

Returning from the Crimea, we were in the midst of bad weather, which wisely decided to wait in Kherson. After spending a few days in town, we decided to move on, because the time we started shrinking. Friends tried to dissuade us from doing so, because the situation on the roads was far from happy. We all decided to take a chance and go to Kiev.

Choosing which way - through further Nikolaev Odessa (we are so advised) through Nikolaev on the Resurrection and Pervomaisk, Nikolayev by Kirovograd finally through Dnepropetrovsk, we finally settled on the second option. I understood that it is risky because of the long cross-country Voznesensky and Day, but still conferring we decided on this option.

Kherson all these days was paralyzed by snow drifts. Even on key highways was a lot of snow, and in the side streets you can get caught up immediately. City authorities are not ready for the winter, so there was chaos in the streets. 40 minutes we tried to leave the city, places that reminded subjects of the American film "The Day After Tomorrow».






"The Day After Tomorrow" is Hersonski



If you do not, say, turn on time, a real opportunity to turn around, you will have only until you drive to the next ring.



The mayor and the city government these days in Kherson as such otsustvovali



On the whole city four grader, really two





At last. We turned around and went back to the turn at Nikolaev



Who the fuck is interested?

By the way, not every gas station you can call. Especially struck by Shell, its staff stood and waved their hands, that there is no check, "not cleared here" :) In the picture, though not Shell /

I do not see Nikolayev ...



Check out the track Kherson, Mykolayiv impressed



The victims of the first snow hitting







Are clearing, but really dvuhryadka was completely covered with half a meter of snow. So the movement of Kherson and Nikolayev is only one lane.







Shat shat-not "Vlada" deep hell on any "nagaduvannya." While our nation is currently nagaduvat so long and will freeze the thousands among the fields at the first serious snow. The best way to foretell currently using AK.





Do you want to refuel? Pull!









Yes, you Vlasna іstoriya we vlasnі problemi



Gathering pace



Too bad cars do not fly



One hundred percent, and the old collective grave



So we go on Eurocorridors! :)



Imagine 12 kilometers in 35 minutes



Whether the road of national importance, whether good hard-packed trails



Where is the right two bands



Somewhere near Kherson Airport

Valiant seemed MOE







Go to overtake



Counter always empty, is not to let the traffic police car













Some trucks were driven frankly



And he brought





I know a guy who got stuck here stood in the night of 16 to the 17th. He stood there all night and in the morning I saw that the fuel ends, spat, threw the car and walked to the side of Kherson, was 10 kilometers, then he picked up what that minivan, which is selected from snow captivity.









Oh, there was a little cleaner and the speed increased to 80



Not to let the traffic police car to the side of Kherson





Sorry man, that he is broken. On the way we tossed a couple of Odessa to New wretches who also broke down the machine



Drifting gone, we thought that a new storm, but has carried



Children! We still have not reached Nikolayev!



Vaughn pratsyuє winter ... I mean, what do you think? :)





Somewhere at the entrance to Nikolaev



Overtaking on the road so dumb



Counter wagon did not bother and just went along the side of





Not surprisingly, more than 50 kilometers we drove about a half hour

The road of life :)



Winter rural landscape



Interesting houses



Similar to the hut, but not hut



Heart sank alarmingly ...



Proudly blows the banner of the Leader of the frozen villages. Theater of the absurd, really ...



It can not be!



Nice village cancers. Here is the heart sank even more alarming



People began to get nervous



Let's go in two rows, the traffic police gave the green





Sometimes, our traffic police protects us



Where to look so intently, swearing on the phone?



And, over here



We are allowed to rise. Carefully go



Upstairs we're constantly five minutes gone further. The road was empty, but not for long. At the next village was even more ambitious plug



And so we stand



But ... I want to draw your attention! While we stand loshara and Vaughn pratsyuє!



Here! This guy is all at once. We heard the noise and saw the drifts, all wrapped in snow dust is famously raced a car. I thought that this is a Jeep. NO! It was a common front-drive Chevrolet!



Vaughn peremozhe!



Guys zashushukalis, some began to say that it may well take a chance. A half a minute gone in the footsteps of heavy machinery cab :)





Amazingly, we all stood for about 10 minutes and then drove on. Passing Voznesensk, we escaped to the operating room. The road from Kherson to Voznessensk took about 4 chasov.Vozle Voznessensk batteries are exhausted, but it turned out that the most interesting thing we've seen.

After Pervomaisk we ran quite fun, although some places were listed sections of the road. But compared to what we have seen in the south, it was utter nonsense. In 19-13, we were already on the Odessa track. An hour, we ate at one of the restaurants Poplavskiy. And then rushed to Kiev. 22-23 we were in the Ukrainian capital. Total road from Kherson to Kiev took 10 hours. During this time we passed 600 km. My wife and I did not tired, on the contrary. because during that overcame every obstacle came home in a beautiful nastroenii.Vprochem, we were lucky, as many Ukrainians at this time is still sitting in snowdrift. After all, as always, the winter came to us suddenly ...
