Snow? In September? I must be in Russia. I woke up this morning to see a light snow falling from the slate-grey sky. I remember one of my cross country races in high school was canceled due to temperatures above 90F--in October. I guess I'm not in Ohio anymore.

They (you know, "they") say that it's going to be a record-cold winter this year in Russia. Like once-in-a-hundred-years cold. That sounds fine to me; it will make for an untoppable comeback anytime anyone in Ohio complains about winter weather ("when it was -40 and blizzarding in Vladimir, we still went to work...."). As you quickly learn, layers are the key to surviving extreme cold. That and vodka are how Russians do it.
