I Love Astana in the Spring Time
Around 4pm yesterday it began to snow. And it hasn’t stopped yet. Temperatures were around -5 in the morning and obviously colder at night meaning roads are icy. This is I believe a heavier storm than we got even in winter. It does take away some of my desire to celebrate Astana’s birthday in June. But hopefully by then the snow will have melted!
This is what my trip to work looked like this morning.
As usual the city fathers called out a dozen plows to cover the same area.
Poor street cleaners!
The sudden winter scene was not without its beauty
Particularly where the wind created dunes. Which was everywhere as the wind has been very heavy
Some people were more energetic than others cleaning off their cars.

The ‘Cleaners’ are not poor, they are just doing their best.

I believe you may have misunderstood what the author meant.
“Have some sympathy for the cleaners who have to work very hard in this weather”, is what I believe he meant, not, “the quality of their work is poor”…
