Is it the day after tomorrow? No, it is the day before today! Is it the beginning of the next ice age? Maybe 
Just take your time and enjoy cold!
Dmitry Medvedev and Vladimir Putin look really happy to be in snowy weather in Russia’s Sochi skiing resort of Krasnaya Polyana. Awesome! Numbers of winter admirers have grown.
By the way:
1) Companies “Bogner” and “Smith” must be gratefull to Russian leaders for such effective product placement
2) Russia’s President and Premier made an outstanding contribution to rebranding Sochi, that was all the time considered as the Black Sea summer resort.
3) Snowing in the picture looks very impressive.
4) Just wonder how other nation leaders look in winter.

That’s what I see in my backyard in Cariboo Region, British Columbia, Canada.
The snow will stay on the ground until April, then it will get warm quite suddenly and everything will thaw and melt. And then my basement will flood. (more…)
Currently I visit extension courses on auctions, contests, etc at Yakutsk State University. Now my ordinary day is as follows. At 8:20 am I leave my kids at kindergarten. A few weeks ago it was the very time to view sunrise. Once, on Nov. 20, 2009, I decided to bring along a camera to take pictures of the rising sun. But I failed to do that after the kindergarten. I saw the first lights only, but no sun. See the above pic. I walked along the quay to the university with the hope to see the scarlet shafts of sunrise… and eventually I started shivering. Took a bus and finally got into the building.
Sunrise happened during the lecture, after 9 am. A pic above was taken through the window glass. (more…)
