Moscow Winter Sky
Sunday, October 15, 2006
Winter began today in Moscow. I went out with just a sweater for warmth and was given many disbelieving stares by well-wrapped-up Muscovites. By the time I had walked a mile or so, I realised they were right. This is a picture of the nearest church to my home, silhouetted against a cold sky at 1730 today.
We are a balmy zero, but it felt colder yesterday in the wind. Certainly too cold for no overcoat. Today I am overcoated, but not yet scarved or gloved, so we can't call it real Winter yet.

Tom, thought I'd lost you - had a computer crash and lost all addresses. Yes, your cupoli are like ours in this town and it is indeed chilly today but we're usually 7 or 8 under Moscow in winter. Just checked - it's actually warm - minus two just now.
