Flash freeze in Russia!!! WTF is going on???
"Abnormally low winter temperatures in Russia continue to claim more and more lives. Twenty-one people froze to death in only one day; 147 others were hospitalized with frostbite. The cold weather in central Russia is not going to get any warmer soon. On December 19, the cold has reached St. Petersburg, where temperatures fell below -20 degrees Centigrade. It is 30 degrees below zero in the Ivanovo region, -22C in the Kaluga region, and -25 in Tver. In Moscow, for example, the cold snap came on December 15 and will last until next Wednesday, forecasters say. At the weekend, night temperatures will drop to 26 degrees below zero Centigrade."

I take my shock back...I miscalculated when I read the article. So -14F, I would have thought that wasn't that unusual for Russia?

...not that I would want to be in weather that cold, though!

It's not the temp. that concerns me, it's the severe drop in temperature. Not a cold snap, more like a flash freeze.
