Winter has come

I've been waiting for it. And frankly, I am very happy that it has come.

It's blizzarding. The wind speed is 25 meters per second. The snow is flying straight in the face - it hurts. The glasses are freezing over immediately. You have to walk sideways, struggling to stay on your feet. They say you should have a coin in your pocket to stay on your feet. The sea is rough! There is snow everywhere - at the doors, at the window, on the roofs and around the houses. Candlesticks are trembling inside the church. When you put your ear on the pillow, you can hear something buzzing and whistling and humming.

The wind speed reached 30-35 meters per second today!!

When I was doing my shift in the morning, out of the corner of my eye I noticed that someone was flying. Someone was literally flying near the church!

It was our Vitalik thrown from side to side. He is too light, the same as me. The three of us were going down the hill after the service: Sergey was the first one ready to give his back to support me if anything happens, while the Doc was the third one following me.

They had to catch me three times - I was flying to the right and to the left!

Well, if people travel in the summer, they can always count on the tents. In the winter for travellers there are hotels in each city. Nothing difficult :)

I don’t know how you do it, where I live summer temperature is 22 to 29 C And winter gets down to a really cold 15 to 20 C and we might have 5 days in the year where the early morning temp gets down to 5 for a few hours. I look at Russia and think, I could never survive. I’m unhappy when I have to put my shirt on at night. I see some Siberian area’s get down to –30C, I cant even imagine that, if you stop the car get out and have a leak, you’ll probably get stuck to the tree ;) Russia fascinates me, but the cold worries me. Here if people want to see the country they can do it with tents, or a camper vehicle, I suppose that is just out of the question in Russia, how do people tour Russia?
