Minus Twenty Seven around Moscow. Rather nippy night if you ask me. Never was a big fan of cold, almost snow-less winters. But we have central water heating and gas ovens to keep us warm. Though the gas oven gives me a headache ><

The only issue so far is that one of our water taps froze, so I had to run some hot water through the neighbor pipe to heat them all up. Leaving a fine stream of water going from both taps now. Moving water doesn't freeze until like -30 C here. But then it'll take until spring to re - thaw. Or maybe until next week, we are promised rapid warming until +2 degrees Celsius and heavy snow / freezing rain. Oh well, at least we'll have a white New Year.

Merry Christmas everyone!
