Have an idea about Russian winter.







Something extraordinary!

Even it was much colder and snowy years ago before the Global Warming. I have witnessed -22 C daytime and -34 C night time minimum but these are never minimum for Russia. The record should be something -70 C. Your nose runs non stop and ears get frozen. It s a feeling like burning. But the advantage is it s usually not windy in Russia. Even these extreme colds dont make you feel cold so much but just the worst thing happens to your hands if you dont wear a glove even for a moment. 
Bleeding cracks appear and they are very painful. There are something strange for any other place like double enterance doors with a meter distance between in all the shops to leave kids' sleights, parents pulled kid sleights on asphalt crossing streest at traffic lights, always engine on waiting taxis, manucipality workers with a duty of breaking ice on pavements, double layers of windows and main enterance in homes. Frozen glasses in buses like that below.




The humidity inside the bus by people gets frozen on the glasses and makes a few milimetres of a layer of ice on the glasses of buses. Difficult to see outside to recognize the bus stop you will get off.

Homes are very warm inside by an amazing effective central heating system gives hot water to all the city. You have hot water and heating system is turned on 24 hours a day as a manucipality service and it s quite cheap.
