The Siberian Cold

We woke up this morning to another fresh layer of snow.  Winter here tends to be quite mild, hovering around the 0°C, but dipping down lower at least once in the winter.  Snow is not uncommon but is doesn't usually last long.
This winter began unusually mild, but now for the past two weeks the temperatures have stayed consistently below 0°.  We have even had -17°C one night. We are fortunate as many other parts of Europe have had much colder temps.  The weather man called it "The Siberian Cold". So glad for a house with good heating!
