-46C. Yakutsk, Yakutia/Siberia. Jan. 14, 2010. 11:03.
A view from my window. That’s what we have currently outdoor in Yakutsk. Pretty cold. -46C. Happy Valentine’s Day 
Yes, we did it. We were in Yakutia’s valley of Oymyakon. Our first morning in the coldest place in Siberia. It was -52C. Pretty good, indeed and felt really good. Watch the video and see what cold air we were breating.
Strange. It was -52C, but we felt really cold. We couldn’t stay outside more than 15 minutes. But when we registered -57.1C in Tomtor on the day of our depature for Yakutsk, it was bearable. We were even surprised at such a low temp at that moment. (more…)

Edmonton, Canada. 15-16 December 2009.
This December turned out to be very strange in Russia’s West, South and Primorye. Sudden frost replaced unseasonal warmth.
The current month began in Moscow without usual snow. On December 3, Russia’s capital experienced 8.2 degrees Celsius. Bears at the zoo were unable to begin hibernating, and mushrooms started growing in nearby forests. On Tuesday everything was changed.
