And here's the warning sign on the police tape.

Once the snow started to melt, at least the first time around (It came back in a major way within a week or two), it melted so quickly that it created unsafe conditions on the sidewalks as heavy packs of wet snow fell off of rooves. As a result, the police closed a lot of the sidewalks, as here on Pstrossova.

Here's the offending snowpack.

The snowstorm appears to have caught Prague businesses somewhat by surprise, as many sidewalk cafes never brought their furniture and canopies in. Normally, they stay open in the winter, as they have large propane heaters for their guests, which are usually not too inadequate if the guests are wearing coats.
