A little bura didn't stop anyone this morning...

The cold and strong winds took no prisoners over the last few days, and the Croatian national flag sat atop park Marjan in Split was yet another victim of the storm. 

Bura, everyone’s favorite gusty, icy cold wind, is currently ripping its way across the coast. While the sun in Split is inviting us in with open arms, it’s cold, and if there is no reason to go outside, no one is. As we look back on the last few days of frigid cold (with today being the real kicker) how has the bura affected the coast thus far?

Everyone in Croatia is in the midst of a so-called "Polar Vortex": temperatures are greeting us in the minus and snow is not only blanketing the tops of mountains but the islands are finding their fair share as well. Dalmatia is being struck with hurricane-like winds gusting at speeds faster than you can drive and waking up to -3 degrees Celcius in Split this morning was a definite adjustment to the much warmer temperatures experienced last week. Unsure of what to do and where to go, how do we survive the bura in Split?
