chalous, yes

[Nephasto]

Iran seems to have good roads!

[newyorkrunaway1]

these highways are much more than I would have expected for this country. WOW!

[JD]

Why?

Oops, the Fox effect...

[Konoval]

One more proof of how beautiful this country is..

[ChrisZwolle]

There are some motorways around Tehran, but are there any connecting all big cities of this country? You suppose there have to be more motorways, considering the size and population of this country.

[SmarterChild]

Check out these crazy pictures from the teheran-ghom motorway

[ChrisZwolle]

Is that from the recent snowfall?

[SmarterChild]

Yes. People in Scandinavia have a hard time driving when it's less snowy than this, I dont want to imagine how it feels to drive in that much snow. :lol:

some more pictures posted on the same forum:

[ChrisZwolle]

I heard it snowed for the first time in 100 years in Baghdad.

[Verso]

But I don't think snow is so rare in Iran.

[Tehran1]

Infact it snows in iran every year in almost all parts of the country (especially in the mountains) it is very much a normality. But this year has seen the heaviest snowfall for 10 years.
And you'll be suprised to know that Iran has ski slopes from november time to mid march aswell, which in addition to is around the fourth highest slope in the world.

This link shows more snowfall in the capital city tehran.

Yeah, talking about global warming ... :weird:

But I don't think snow is so rare in Iran.

Nope, they have some very interesting ski resorts. Also I flew over Iran last March, mountain areas were as snowy as Alps, but also lower areas were very beautiful.

[ChrisZwolle]

Yeah, the mountains just north of Tehran are over 5000 meters high.

[bgplayer19]

Guys this winter is unusual!Everyone is talking that there is so much snow and the temperetures are really low!Here in Bulgaria in some areas the tempereture throughout the day is -30 degrees

[FM 2258]

Iran looks like a nicely developed country. I really love this picture. I've always thought of Iran as a desert, and probably many people think Texas is full of cowboys. :)

I think that pic is taken somewhere along the Caspian Coast.

Yeah? You should come to Scandinavia for some heat, I think we've got a total of like 7 days with temperatures below 0 this winter. :lol:

[ChrisZwolle]

Yeah the winter sucks too in the Netherlands. We haven't got real snow this winter yet. (only some local "industrial snow").

[bgplayer19]

You're welcome here in Bulgaria!Only in Sofia there is around 30cm of snow:lol:!last year there wasn't any:ohno:

[crieffite@comcast.ne]

I have read a few of your posts now. Always the amazement that other countries may have highways right up to US standards. Almost every post you make it clear that you've never seen another country. Enough of the "we are the greatest " please and look at things with an open mind.

You've gotta be kiddin', Chris (http://forum.autosnelwegen.nl/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=9390&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&hilit=sneeuw&start=150) ;)

There's a nice "Quote" button in each post for when you're replying to a particular message ;) And don't be too hard on whoever it is, they're all Foxified :lol:

Sorry, forgot to use the quote button. my comment was directed at "FM 2258 " and he certainly is ' Foxified "

[kbboy]

Nice pics :yes:

Can you post a map of the Iranian motorways, please?

It isn't?


j/k

[crieffite@comcast.ne]

So what exactly were you expecting? Camels and donkeys on dirt roads?
I think you maybe watch too much Fox news.
the rest of the world is not as primitive as the jokers on Fox would have you believe.

Well guys I didn't think that Iran has such roads too. But I'm not foxified for sure. Because I don't have it :D There not many information about Iran available. I thought it was very desert and hot. Some people think that Baltic states are very cold. We didn't have snow at all this awful "winter". Tjhe only normal snow was in march :( :nuts: :ohno:

sorry Alexriga. I get carried away but time and time again I read these posts from US members expressing amazement, or disparaging, things modern in other countries.
Fox is a TV channel nationally here in the USA which is a little to the right of Ghengis Khan! ie very right wing.

Its staff continually makes disparaging remarks about any nation or person who disagrees with the US. The rest of the world is consistently portrayed as weird. odd. backward. Hence "being Foxified ".:ohno:
