Do you like winter? & if you ever deside to visit Yakutsk

I definitely not. And I'm not talking about your half-assed really warm winter. I'm talking 'bout that serious one, where i currently live. Right now is 2:22 A.M and the weather is -47 degrees Celsius with REAAAAAALLY strong wind. I'm used to that kind of weather but nevertheless, i still hate it. Anyway, to keep myself warm i wear this things: Boots like that only with fur inside.(From real leather and fur of course.) Don't forget warm fur-made socks. My favorite. Double-layered, but still it's important to wear at least one set of warm underwear pants under "upper pants". :) Like this for example Good one. French-made. Oh, don't forget about this thing. Very useful if you want to keep yourself warm. Don't forget about sweaters too. You'll need it. Also, your delicate hands probably wouldn't make it in one piece if it is your first time in that kind of cold in some gloves. Use these or something like this. For your head that cap will be probably enough Use your jacket's hood for extra protection from wind. (Not many people wear "Ushanka's" these days. Even Police Force and Army started to replace them with other kinds of headwear. Also, nobody is wearing Ushanka during spring, summer or autumn. Don't believe Hollywood.) Almost forgot, to protect your face from wind simple thin bandana will be enough, i guarantee it! Or you can use scarf, and even balaclava. Well, that's about it. -50 or -60 is not THAT cold, belive me.

Truthfully I love cold weather. And colder than the sissy winters we have in Texas. It's 40 outside right now and people complain about that. Coldest I've ever experienced myself was -32F. With about a 15 degree wind chill. I ran outside in shorts and a t-shirt just to see how long I could make it. Not very as it turns out.

I have worked in freezer at my former job which was -32C in nothing but a pair of desert weight trousers, a short sleeved shirt and a pair of gloves. that wasn't fun! I lasted about 20 minutes before I had to go defrost on the back dock. (40+C)

I don't really like cold weather. Luckily, I have no plans to visit Russia.

I looooove the winter.~~ It's my favourite season.

It's just so bad we never get snow here. Well, like once a year tops and then it's just a wee little bit. (Holland, yeah.)

We didn't get much snow yet,but the weather's ridiculous. T-T
They closed schools across Canada today, because in some places, it was -50oC. Not even up north, like, mid-Ontario and the Prairies.

Winter itself is fun though.
