Several Romanian villages were buried under multiple meters of snow from heavy blizzards, with some houses completely covered except for tunnels dug to the outside. Soldiers and emergency equipment worked to help flood victims and deliver aid through the deep, frozen snow drifts, as roofs were in danger of collapsing under the heavy weight and fences were damaged. Local residents banded together and dug tunnels to evacuate homes while soldiers fought to reach isolated areas through the snowy conditions.
