Snow

Well... I'm not sure what everyone has heard already, but this winter was supposed to be a cold one in northern Europe/Russia. I had heard that while in Reading and was glad I was heading further south. Apparently it has been really cold in places like Russia and the Ukraine (where upwards of 123 people have died). This morning after getting to class, we noticed that it had started to snow lightly. Our professor told us that there was much talk on the news about a cold front that was moving into Greece. He also told us that Thessaloniki only ever gets snow maybe once a year (and in Athens it is once every 5 years).

The warm streak has ended for us: it was -12 and way worse with windchill last night.
Very cold today.... which leads me to believe that hell might be freezing over and thus opening an opportunity for an NDP official opposition to be elected today?
Hard to say :P

However, the difference is that -12°C isn't news in Canada (except maybe Vancouver). I guess -30°C is kind of news for longer periods of time (except Winnipeg). :)

-12 is VERY cold for this year, not typically this time of year though, you're right.

What can I say. I hate anything under 20.

What Now?

Well, it would seem that for the most part, my Europe Adventure is over. It has been an amazing time. Now, I am reviving the ailing colibate.com and going to make a go of it over there. All the best.
