Bolot, what is the weather like in Yakutsk?
Susan, what is the weather like in Canada?
Karl, what is the weather like in Sweden?
amazingsnow, what is the weather like in Spain?
Everybody, what is the weather like ?
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…)
07.01.2010 – 14:33 Winter has Europe firmly in its icy grasp, as a low pressure front develops over the Mediterranean into a winter storm.
Schools closed, flights cancelled as winter bites.
And it’s headed right for Germany!
Much of the UK has already been left in chaos after heavy snow, while the Dutch were able to don their ice skates thanks to some permafrost.
In Eastern Europe, slightly milder temperatures have led to dangerous ice – but Norway has been suffering in arctic minus 41 degrees Celsius conditions.

The whole continent has the shivers!
Now Germany must prepare for the low pressure front, called ‘Daisy’. According to the German Weather Service (DWD), it is “pumped full of moisture” and will pass over the country and then into Poland.
In the weather video above, you can see ‘Daisy’ as a circling red point from Portugal over the Med towards Central Europe.
In cold air a lot of snow is set to fall in the south and east of Germany on Friday, according to meteorologist Dorothea Paetzold, with parts of the country set to see 45cm.
And the “very explosive mixture” is set to bring in dangerous storms on Friday and Saturday.
The weather is playing havoc across the continent, with train services badly affected and supplies of road salt running low. Factories are working around the clock to produce more.

Some parts of Michigan and Ohio were expected to get as much as several more feet (up to a meter) of snow as the system which has battered the country since Sunday made its way northwards up into Canada.
“This one came roaring through, it came in off the west coast, started really getting put together in Utah and then just blasted across the plains,” said Pat Slattery, a spokesman for the National Weather Service.
“As the system moves through, back behind it all this Arctic air came pouring south out of Canada and sweeping across the plains.”
High winds were creating blizzard-like conditions even in areas where the snow had stopped falling by pulling snow drifts up off the ground, Slattery told AFP.
Those winds were also adding a bitter bite to the already freezing winter air, complicating efforts to dig out from under the heavy snow.
Wind chills were forecast to range from -15 to -30 Fahrenheit (-26 to -34 Celsius) from Wyoming to Wisconsin and even Iowa and Missouri for the next few days. (more…)
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…)
Oh, man. What’s going on in Alberta, Canada? An Arctic cold front brought blizzard snowstorms to Calgary and Edmonton. Awesome & awful!
The Internet is already full of news, videos, and photos. Check the elected ones. (more…)

Hehe. These tips are good, but in conditions of our cold we need to put more clothes, I think. However, I saw local marathoneers running in -50C and they didn’t have much layers, almost the same. However, they preferred to wear hat as well If I would have a chance, I’ll try to take pictures of those runners.
