Dark Cold Days and Exiting New Developments

Since returning a week ago the weather has gone from a cool-15C to a very chilly -36 C. But more than that the days have become nights too, sunrise is now around 10:00am and sunset around 2:00pm. Needless to say you've got to be quick to catch the sun!

The photo below was taken the other day at 1:45pm, you can see that the cars already have their headlights on! The white wispery stuff on the road is blowing snow.

Here's a really nice photo of the frozen wasteland that surrounds this garden spot!

But now for the scoop of the day. Do you remember the Siberian outhouse from last spring, well in thawed out in the summer and was such a health risk that it had to be removed and the melted brown stalamite disposed of. Now that the freeze is back so is the outhouse but it's bigger and better baby!!

May I introduce to you the new His n' Hers Siberian Comfort Station

The photo is not very good but the notices pinned to the doors say Ladies and Men in English and Russian. So they have done there bit for equality of the sexes. Now both Men and Ladies can take advantage of the facilities in complete confidence and privacy. However at -36 C you had better be quick!!!!
