The place of the Sjenica in Serbia is often cut off from the world, because the winter there is very cold and snow attacks up to 2m. Since it is the place where the oldest population is most likely, emergency services are very difficult for them, so there are mountain rescue services that are busy all day long. Since the vehicle can not reach all houses, people carry patients on their carriers and several hundred meters. Life here is very hard.

I'm so happy that I don't every have to worry about that much snow where I live. It rarely ever snows, or even gets very cold here. But then again, we do get strong hurricanes all the time, and that might be even worse than snow.

@Nevena83 The hurricanes that have hit us in the past five years or so have been deadly, and have cause catastrophic damage worse than any war could. The storms are getting worse due to climate change.
Our roads are okay, sometimes the highways can be scary to drive on, especially during holidays when there is heavy traffic as people travel to visit family and loved ones.

@Nevena83 We recently had a hurricane hit us in October, that completely destroyed the cities and towns along the coast where the hurricane came ashore. I work on a search and rescue team, so we were the first ones to go in to search for survivors. The attached photo is an example of the damage we had to search through to look for survivors. Tens of thousands of houses and buildings were destroyed as a result of the storm.
In the photo, I'm the guy in the middle in the white shirt bending over.

That's a lot of snow. Do you live in Sjenica?

Yes, it's very difficult, especially since there are almost no young people there.
