Russian Cold Snap -30c

[lazyitus]

As we all had to endure the -18c over Christmas, we should now be well prepared for the Russian -30c weather thats on its way next week.

Weather forecasters.

I'm typing this from my company's office in central Moscow. Was out last night in Red Square and it was -32.

I have to say it was deeply unpleasant and the snot in my nose froze.

I'm off to Moscow next week on saturday, hope it's warmed up a bit by then. We were supposed to be going skiing with my wife's brother on Sunday.

The cold is great! Don't be wimps...

but yeah, anything below -20 and my nose hairs freeze... -30ish and eyelashes too!

It was tongue in cheek, utd's.

It's what we were supposed to receive but it never materialised, thankfully.

I always reckon 10 to -10 is comfortable and below -10 its just fecking cold. Hard to determine different degrees of really coldness.

Although I did walk from my flat to the Bolshoi one night without a hat and gloves (on the basis it wasn't very far, but it was in fact a 20 minute walk) when it was -25 and it was definitely one of the stupidest things I have ever done.

I'd like it to be cold, crisp and dry, the damp, mild, drizzly weather around now is horrible.

I'd say down to -15 or maybe -20 is okay but below that it's a bit too chilly. If you're wearing jeans they freeze!

Being English I did go out without a hat and gloves to begin with - argh - bad idea. You soon learn that, no matter how silly you think you look, it's best to wear a hat.

True, I don't have a problem with anything below -10, thats just where I start to nitice that it is actually pretty cold.

Hats and gloves are essential though.

I somehow don't think we'll be having a Russian Winter in the UK any time soon though

Had one day here in Norfolk at -6c that was cold enough.

[littlegreenfairy]

its ok - my sleeping bag goes down to -35

And tbh the country will grind to a halt when it goes below 0 so we'll all have days of work - or in my case days off not doing anything.

Two inches?

1/2 an inch does that.
