Winter is coming, which means you’re more likely to get unexpected snowfall in public than ever before. That’s what happened to 61 people in the UK last month, when a blizzard caused the band covering Oasis and its fans to snow together for four days. They seem to have made the most of it, drinking ale and enjoying proper Sunday roasts – but only in private, listening to covers of “Wonderwall” on repeat sounds like a circle. unexplored hell.

On the other hand, snowing in Ikea sounds like… really cool? Last week, A blizzard in Aalborg, Denmark, stranded 31 people – 25 workers and 6 customers – at a local Ikea, forcing them to take an “impromptu sleepover”, which must have been the premise. for a Hallmark movie. It actually sounds pretty cozy, with the group playing cards and watching a Christmas movie. At dinner, they gather in the Ikea canteen, supposedly eating hot chocolate, rice cakes, and beer (we hope there are meatballs). After that, they seem to have to wander around the gallery and sleep in beds of their choice.

Peter Elmose, the store manager, calls the sleepover a “once-in-a-lifetime experience,” explaining, “Our value is to take care of each other and so we had a good time.” look and enjoy the evening”. Well, just some things to keep in mind the next time it happens.
