Vienna – The new wage negotiations for around 50,000 railway workers began on Saturday followingnoon. Even at the beginning of the night there was no agreement that would set the course in the direction of canceling the 24-hour rail strike announced for Monday. The fronts were hardened before the conversation started. The ideas for a conclusion of the KV negotiations for around 65 companies, including ÖBB or Westbahn, were far apart. The preparations for the strike continued.
Strong winds ahead
Thermal shock caused by a sudden dive of almost 10 degrees during the night from Wednesday to Thursday. Precipitation which might take the form of snow and rain. Gusts that might reach more than 80 to 90 km / h. The beginning of December promises to be breathtaking to say the least!
A threat from the USA
A strong mass of cold air coming from the Arctic and progressing towards the South, is involved in this important disturbance. In addition, a system of warm and moist air from the Gulf of Mexico and moving north joins the game, resulting in the creation and intensification of a depression in Colorado.
The impact on us
From the southwest to the northeast of Quebec, the winds will be violent. And all of this will not be without evoking the day of December 11, 2021, when 400,000 homes were without electricity at the height of the storm. As a precaution: it is recommended to solidify the car shelters and to prevent the flight of material objects left outside, which might be the targets of gusts and likely to cause injuries.

The dispute is started by Moe, the owner of the tavern, by grabbing Ned Flanders by the neck. And from that moment, everything is madness in the stadium. As was seen when now Argentines played with Mexicans.
