snowing

My city is covered with snow. It has been snowing for two days. The streets are nasty. Before you will drive you have to clean your car for fifteen or more minutes. But it is not the worst. The roads are very slippery and you can drive no faster than forty kilometers in an hour. Today is Sunday and there are not two many cars. If the streets aren't be cleaned until tomorrow there will be huge traffic jams. My job is near my house. But not everybody is as lucky as I am. Good luck to you people.

Hello Olga,

It certainly doesn't sound very nice!

When we are talking about somethimng that started in the past and continuous up to now we often use the present perfect  - here the continuous form as we are focused on the length of the action -have/has + been + verb-ing.

If there is obligation - you have no choice we either use 'must' or 'have to' in the present.

Hope this helps

Bob
