Surprising Snow

I took one week leave and went to Astara with my family. We had a flight to Rasht - half way to Astara- and stayed at my brother's first and then drove to Astara. It was snowing a bit and was so cold. But after a few days we heard all in the news that there has been a heavy snow in Rasht, about 2 meters! And most houses are out of power and water!!! Also my brother's! Nobody could go to work, even the bakery's were closed! and the government asked the bakers to make breads, people needed to eat, all the supermarkets were closed, no power, no meat!
And the snow continued...
Until my leave was over and I had to come back to my city but I couldn't! No way I could drive to Rasht, even if I could the airport was closed due to heavy snow! unbelivable! We couldn't even drive all way to Tehran, the road was too dangerous.
Finally the ony way we could find was to drive forehead to another city after Astara and catch a flight from there to Tehran. And I was lucky because after we arrived to Tehran it started snowing in that city also!!!!
We could have been stucked there for at least one more weak!
Hopefully the snow in Rasht has finished and everybody is now back to their normal life WITH POWER AND WATER!
I can't imagine life without these!!! poor people, and lucky the ones who were not on the road in those days, some of them has been missing and one or two dead as I've heard.
